I can't believe it.
I did everything right. Got all the downtown money behind me. Ran tons of ads. Bought the best slogan-writers money could buy, said nothing the least bit controversial, portrayed myself as the "new kind of leadership." Worked my butt off dialing for dollars. And I come in second?
Maybe I need to make my message more specific. I guess we need to give the exact details of the many, many great initiatives I have led on the Council.
First thing tomorrow, I'm going to get one of these high-priced research people to figure out what those were.
