Joker's view of major themes of the 2013 Coeur d'Alene mayor and council elections:

"The 2013 Coeur d’Alene city elections boils down to this: Hope versus Hate. Kiki Miller, Amy Evans, Amber Copeland, Woody McEvers and Steve Widmyer seem to be genuinely nice people. They may have individual flaws, but they don’t ooze hate. While we don’t know who the Recall CDA /Reagan Republicans are going to roll out, it’s safe to predict they’re going to be angry, bitter individuals.  Just look at them. They don’t inspire a warm fuzzy. One of their ring leaders epitomizes hatred and rage. Mary Souza is an original hater. She cut her teeth railing against the city and urban renewal for years as a columnist for the Coeur d’Alene Press.  Did she ever have a nice thing to say about anybody? I certainly don’t remember it"/Joker. More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with Joker's premise that the 2013 Coeur d'Alene city elections will match hope versus hate?
