Just Wondering …

... About the political future of Coeur d'Alene City Council incumbents after tonight's vote on the antidiscrimination ordinance. Mayor Sandi Bloem won't run for re-election. I believe that Councilman Mike Kennedy won't either. That leaves council members Deanna Goodlander and Woody McEvers, who haven't announced their intentions to run for re-election. Am I the only one who thinks the two incumbents are toast, no matter which way they vote? Both almost faced a recall election as a result of their support of the McEuen Field makeover. Now, they're going to upset a significant portion of Coeur d'Alene no matter which way they vote. What do you think?

Question: Does McEuen Field + antidiscrimination vote (either side) = end of Woody & Deanna on council should they seek re-election?
