We have a lot to talk about in the morning but I worked for a bit on this post and wanted to share with TKC readers how election night looked to me . . .
Here's a look of Mayor Funky walking out the door.
Jim Rowland had his watch party at Mike's on Troost. That's Jan in the foreground but she was at every party tonight . . .
Jim Roland had the best insight tonight, upon learning of the REALLY LOW voter turnout he said: "Given people fighting for Democracy in Egypt and all over the world, does this town's lack of participation mean Kansas City gives up the right to complain?"
At the Sly camp . . . Watching John McGurk and Sly Campaign personnel Brad McCormick keep track of results on the election board sites.
My favorite photo of the night, Diana Kander waves hi to TKC readers in front of a Sly sign.
Here's a look at dead tree media using new tech and filing video posts from the Burke campaign. I like the double view of Helling in the camera viewfinder.
Another favorite photo . . . Kansas City Political Consultant Katie Daily in front of Mike's, she was everywhere as well tonight.
Mike Burke embracing victory in front of the cameras . . . On the race Mike Burke said, "We have to guys who honestly like each other in this General Election. So we are going to talk about issues and run a campaign that will be good for Kansas City."
Here's a nice shot with Sly James Supporter and MO State House Rep. Jason Kander with Sly James's step-mom.
A shot of Sly James noting his great returns from tonight . . . "We have a lot of work ahead of us. Tomorrow we hit the ground running," Sly said.
Finally, this is my favorite photo of the night . . . Upon hearing that she made it past the primary Tracy Ward broke down in tears. Here she is just looking at results.
Remember not so long ago TKC readers learned of her campaign and we've been talking a lot about hope for her 6th District Run.
Congratulations to all the winners tonight . . . And most importantly, everybody who voted.
Go Tracy!
ReplyDeleteGo Tracy! Go Brandon! Hermann loses, outstanding! Circo, uh.
ReplyDeleteThere's still another chance to get rid of Cindy.
ReplyDeleteNah. She is like a terminal illness that goes into remission and comes back with a vengeance. :(
ReplyDeleteGo Tracy! Awesome that Funk is out! Yah Cindy! Be nice! Good night for KC for sure!
ReplyDelete***
Funk loses.
ReplyDeleteTony, do you think this is going to be a hard choice. I like both Mike and Sly.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a good race.
Goodbye Mark.
your loss KC, you get what you deserve. Two bullshit lawyers.
ReplyDeleteTony - couldn't agree more with your favorite pic of the night....mine too!!
ReplyDeleteTracy is one strong and beautiful woman who speaks her mind and wants to bring good things to this town. Good luck in the general election Tracy - you rock girl!
Go Brandon, and Tracy, and Cindy is going to win her race hands down. To bad Mahlon was a write in candidate. O well looks like we are going to get that 400 million dollar hotal god help us all.
ReplyDeleteTony, tony, tony. I watched the first five or ten minutes of the news on channel 9,
ReplyDeleteSeen it already. Why are you spending so much time trying to compete with all those people working for channel 9?
Don't bother. Spend your time analizing. Bring us something they DIDN'T. You can't compete on the images. TV does that better than the internet can ever hope to.
So find your nitch. What TV does isn't it, young man! So don't try to beat them in a medium that just can't possibly compete!
The election is OVER. Spend your/our browse time offering something they COULDN'T!, but the paper will in the morning!
It's nice the Pink girl made it, I admit. Now lets see if she's got the moxie to govern!
ReplyDeleteI know I know. 2 many msgs. But on second thought, Tee really did a pretty damned good election summary.
ReplyDeleteIt's why I really like the little Mexican fucker! He does have his good days and today was one.
Tracy should have run for MAYOR!
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that Jacob Turk was at the kceb result watching for Ward.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good night for Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteGood bye and good riddance Funk.
A good day for all of KC.
ReplyDeleteGet the FUNK out.
RE:The Mayoral results....THANK YOU JESUS!
ReplyDeleteOur long municipal nightmare is over.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Sly. I guess your $500,000 was spent well after all. You won!
ReplyDeleteHermann lost because she was one of the City Council members that got us into this mess. The people are standing up and are being heard.
ReplyDeleteKansas City is not being fooled any longer.
What happened to the BIG university study that said Funk would win? LOL.
ReplyDeleteA mighty win for the Kanders.
ReplyDeleteI'd fuck Diana Kander in her ass. Then cum all over her face and tits.
ReplyDeleteYou need a double view to get all of Dave Helling in these days.
