Joker: Mary Was A Ha-huge Loser

Joker: Mary Souza was a huge loser last night. For all of her breathless rantings about conspiracies and corruption, she failed — again — to get one of her candidates elected. On top of that her archnemesis, Mike Kennedy, won by five votes. It has to kill her that she came so close to knocking off the guy she hates with all her soul. Five votes. I believe this one will hurt her for a long time.

DFO: I don’t agree, Joker. Mary & OpenCDA.com broke even, at worst. Indeed, Mary had to swallow the bitter pill of Mike’s re-election and the clean sweep by the incumbents. But she and her gang came so close to pulling off two stunning upsets. That means her/their voices are resonating. Of course, their negativity resonated in this unsettling time. I rarely agree w/Mary’s message. But I do grudgingly admire her willingness to be out front (when so many others hide behind her skirts). However, she remains on the outside. Who knows if this was her last best chance to gain revenge for that 2005 election loss.

Question: Would you list Mary and OpenCDA.com among the winners or losers Tuesday?
