You should have seen the difficulty Mr. Miller had convincing his City Hall colleagues they shouldn't try to sweep the spending scandal under the council chamber rug. One councillor was so incensed with his talk of dirty backroom deals that she launched a lawsuit against him. The legal action was later dropped for lack of anything better to do. This only encouraged another ward rep to try and whip up support for a motion to force Mr. Miller to issue a groveling apology for remarks that supposedly "impugned the integrity" of everyone sitting in that windowed clamshell overlooking Nathan Phillips Square.

Not that I'd recommend this course of action to you, but a distinct advantage of leaving your decision in an election until the last minute is that a lot of potential choices get eliminated by virtue of their remaining at, or descending ignominiously to, the bottom of the polls.

Surely the largest city in the nation that invented, perfected and exported the game shouldn't have to hang its head in shame at the fact that our grandest prize goes to such un-"world class" locales as New Jersey (technically the Devils don't have a city - just a stadium), Dallas (where it's 80 degrees in the middle of the winter and no one wears shorts) or Detroit ( home of world class shootings and bullet proof "party stores").
