First, Albany:
If Mayor Jerry Jennings is to forge his legacy in the coming four years, he will do it surrounded by new faces in City Hall.
Jennings, 60, rolled to re-election Tuesday night, two months after having survived his most serious Democratic primary challenge from Councilman Corey Ellis, who continued in the general election on the Working Families Party line.
With 98 percent of precincts reporting, Jennings had 63 percent of the vote to Ellis’ 29 percent and Republican Nathan Lebron’s 7 percent.
The voters in this city are completely retarded. Jerry Jennings spends sixteen years fucking Albany up in every way and he gets re-elected with sixty-three percent of the vote? These morons would vote a dead, rotting squirrel into office if the Democrats nominated it. In a way, you have to hand it to the Albanians, though; when it comes to getting raped in the ass, they don’t just take it – they bend over, spread their cheeks and shout “More, more, MORE!”
And, Syracuse:
Democrat Stephanie Miner Tuesday became the first woman to be elected mayor in Syracuse’s 162-year history and the first in any major city in New York after breezing to victory Tuesday night in a three-way race.
Miner beat her closest opponent, Republican Steve Kimatian, by a nearly 11-percent margin in the race to succeed termed-out Mayor Matt Driscoll, a Democrat. Miner, a common councilor-at-large for eight years, took 50.1 percent to Kimatian’s 39.2 percent, in unofficial results.
Conservative Party candidate Ronald “Otis†Jennings won 10.3 percent.
Miner winning isn’t terribly surprising, but you gotta hand it to Otis – after getting unexpectedly bitchslapped by the old white guy whose name nobody can pronounce in the primary, he won ten percent of the vote on a third-party line. Oh, and in case you forgot, his wife is hot:
Now the middlebrows are arguing whether Otis took away votes from Kimatian. Let’s see: Otis was the anointed candidate of the Syracuse GOP and campaigned in the general election as a Conservative. Ya think?
On a lighter note, Michael Heagerty, the common councilor who represented my old neighborhood, was literally defeated by his own stupidity:
Matt Rayo, a 23-year-old recent college graduate, booted an incumbent Syracuse common councilor out of office in Tuesday’s election.
Rayo, a Republican, beat one-term Democrat Michael Heagerty.
Heagerty, 51, failed to get enough valid signatures to run on the Democratic line. He ended up one signature short after Rayo challenged dozens of signatures collected from voters who live outside the district. That one signature could have been his own. Heagerty failed to sign his own petition.
Hehehe.
