I'm not sure where Sharon Barnes is having her party or where Tom Bauer will hold his celebration. My wife Terri and I will be at Seamus McDaniels with the Waterhouse folks and I hope others will stop by from the Barnes or Bauer camp.

We have gone through a great deal of change in the 24th Ward and sooner or later we need to have meaningful non-political dialog to solve our differences.

Have a drink at the pub and let's talk. Whatever happens today, let's be glad we can vote our choice and still be friends and neighbors.

Just an FYI on what I saw today while working the polls at Mason School from 6-10:30

- Right around 40 folks voting in that period, mostly in that 40-80 yr old range
- Alot of support for Waterhouse and alot of support for Barnes and much hatred for Bauer
- Much ribbing between the candidates workers- especially to the guy who was working for Bauer and the IBEW guy's and sharon barnes worker tim
-It was damn cold

See ya at Sheamus for a pint

I have a call into the Post and the Suburban Journals. They're supposed to call me back. Will update soon.

bauer's party: 3176 hampton...south of arsenal. the post guy said it was bauer's lofts...or something.

the men outside dewey and st james all seemed to be getting along fairly well. but their efforts are futile, i think.

Barnes' Party: Nick's Pub on Manchester. 7.30pm.

3176 Hampton is Bauer's law office and headquarters for his campaign and ward organization. The only thing lofty there is Bauer's ego.

Congrats, ArchPundit, for predicting publicly on this blog (the TV-buy thread) the correct order of finish, coming within two points of Waterhouse's percentage. Good call.

Thanks, but it's sort of like insider trading since I knew the results of some of the canvassing. Mostly, I'm glad Bauer did worse than I thought.
