Didn't your mothers teach you any sort of kindness or respect? Perez did not get the majority of the vote. There have been reports of questionable antics by poll workers. Even more, if you took a look at the city council race, there were people who got huge vote counts in areas of the city where they have not done any campaigning. This is what should be up for discussion. But here, on a site where one would expect some intelligent dialog, all I'm seeing is a lot of sarcasm and the airing of several individuals' superiority complexes. Wow, you all have some real class.

One got the feeling that one way or the other, Rowland wasn't going to make it through all four years and it appears that Perez is on a similar path. Count me surprised if he's in office by 2011.
