Stacy Wins

Capture the fricking (pre-recount) magic.

Quick and dirty Stacy victory pros and cons.

Pro: She will continue to be a pain in Mitch's ass which, while not exactly helpful, is exceedingly gratifying to watch.

Con: Head is a friendly public servant to constituents who have made it a little bit but is inordinately contemptuous of those who haven't.

Pro: The two year old sinkhole outside my apartment is more likely to get fixed now.

Con: I will probably be evicted from my apartment so some asshole can build a pilates studio.

Note that, had Cyntia won, I could have drawn up a pro/con list that would have looked very nearly this dismal.

Anyway, much fallout to come.

I'm wondering now if, given the low turnout, Mitch's endorsement may have actually hurt Cynthia more than helping as it likely energized just enough of Head's base to put her over the top.

I'm also wondering what happens now in District B. Do we call another special election to fill out the rest of Head's term? Wouldn't it likely coincide with the Presidential election in November? The winner would serve for about a year.

Also Head holds this At Large seat now until 2014. Do we then run this race all over again?
