What Message Were CDA Voters Sending?

Item: What were Cd'A voters trying to say Closeness of races has different meaning for elected officials/Lucy Dukes, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: The vote carried two messages, said Councilwoman Deanna Goodlander. "No. 1, nasty, negative stuff doesn't work," she said. "I think this is the nastiest campaign that we've had in Coeur d'Alene in my memory. "When the election's this close, you need to really take a look at what you're doing." Councilman Woody McEvers said the vote means the city should communicate better with citizens. "Truly, that's my vision. We just need to do a better job of educating everybody," he said.

Question: What message do you think the Coeur d'Alene voters sent?
