Yeah, and what I didn't say is that the current Mayor, a Democrat when he was in the State legislature but now a no-party like the rest of city government (yeah, right) won reelection with two-thirds of the vote -- the same margin he won his original election by over a rabid neo-con. In fact, the extremes who ran for the Council all lost big time no matter WHICH end of the political spectrum they were on. That includes the choice of the Greens and the Libertarians, too.
