By this time tomorrow we shall know two things: Who won the Democratic Primary and how much interest there was in this election.
Sometimes I get the impression that only a very few people really care about the workings of government and who is in charge. There is a lot of talk, but when it comes to doing what you as an individual can do (vote your choice), participation is not what it could be.
Those who have made up their minds have all day to convince friends and relatives to get to the polls and exercise their franchise. Do you really want to leave it up to others to decide who will be running your city in 2013?
It is hard to write about anything else today when the primary outcome is likely to influence city politics for years to come. There is passion on both sides. Choose your side and vote. Polls are open until 8 p.m.

If there is so much interest in this election why has no one made the important argument that anyone with the title "Reverend" in their name should not be elected? By virtue of that title and their chosen primary obligation to their Church and their God, their constituents cannot come first. That is the ultimate violation of the separation of Church and State.
