Sure, Nashville "progressive" Mayor Karl Dean won reelection yesterday. He was unopposed other than a homeless guy and a couple of other fringe candidates. And the incumbent council members he supported won their races, as incumbents are wont to do.
But the bottom line from yesterday's election was that Nashvillians generally don't care for Dean's penchant for sticking it to the city's taxpayers and traditions. Each of the challengers he supported lost their bids to unseat his political opponents, and of course his lame-brain idea for raping the Fairgrounds was trounced in a landslide by referendum. Would that we could have put his other big, expensive lame-brain idea, the new convention center, to the same test.
Mayor Dean, like Barack Obama, waltzed into office on the strength of assets he did not earn and a glib style that fooled a lot of people, supported by other moochers and looters like Megan Barry and Ronnie Steine. I hope his unopposed win to a second term is not an omen for the 2012 presidential election. The voters have turned against him, yet he wins...
