   I got to hand it to everyone here who thinks that what anyone has said is   
   going to make an impact on this election . I got to hand it to any   
   Republican who gets up the energy to try and run against  Street but the   
   bottom line , unless Street is arrested which probably isn't going to happen   
   this election was probably decided long ago. The tv stations have   
   surprisingly remained neutral asking some tough questions of both sides, but   
   they had the most to gain to portray Katz with a chance since that promotes   
   tv ad revenue The bottom line is because Street seems to have been decent   
   and since we live in a Democratic town with people who are going to vote for   
   Street no matter what, this election was done a long time ago. I don't think   
   Street has done a good job , but he could have done worse.Crime is up , the   
   crime that matters , violent crime. The arrest rate is down, the police   
   chief while nice , doesn't seem to know whats really happening, the influx   
   of city business seems to have stalled , and rising unemployment seems to   
   have emerged. I am not convinced Katz could do better so I am not endorsing   
   either one, although I will vote for Katz.(not that anyone cares lol)
