It’s been a very long day. I’ll have more tomorrow. But for now, my congratulations to Tommy Smigiel, who defeated Randy Wright in Norfolk’s Ward 5.
Smigiel defeats Wright
About Vivian J. Paige
A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!Discussion

Posted by Silence Dogood | Wednesday, May 5, 2010, 12:26 amCongratulations to Tommy Smigiel. David just slew Goliath. His tenacity, perseverance and principles give all of us hope that things can change and that having “money and influence” doesn’t always ensure a victory. Hooray for the little guys who just want to be heard. Tommy listened; Randy didn’t. Hopefully, he will continue to listen and speak up at Council.

Posted by Alma Kesling | Wednesday, May 5, 2010, 12:26 pmWhen the entrenched stop listening to the people they supposedly represent and lose despite their power and financial strength, it kinda gives you hope for the future. Doesn’t it?
