The Crystal Ball

We are on the eve of election day and I am curious as to how you think this election will end. So I would like to hear both your predilections and predictions. If the Atch prevails will he take to the office in the next term the concerns expressed by taxpayers regarding city debt? Or will it be same old, same old. If not him, will incumbents being returned come out of dreamland and take election feedback before raising their hands to support mega spending? Your thoughts please.

    My 2 Cents
    City of Saskatoon
    Atch - closer than it should be
    Ward 1 - Hill in a cake walk and I don't mean puff
    Ward 2 - Lorje hits it deep
    Ward 3 - Neault slugging to the end
    Ward 4 - Heidt as it should be
    Ward 5 - Wyant - because there should never have even been a race.. oh there wasn't
    Ward 8 - Penner His swan song thank goodness
    Ward 10 - Horseman - hopefully he can keep the barn door closed

    My predictions:
    Atch - although Swystun certainly won't be embarassed - she will take at least 30%
    Ward 1 - Hill - unlike Swystun - Reynolds will be embarassed
    Ward 2 - Lorje - total sweep
    Ward 3 - Neault
    Ward 4 - Shaw will crush Heidt
    Ward 5 - Wyant - no contest
    Ward 8 - Penner - hopefully for the last time
    Ward 10 - Dubois - tragically

    Atchison, but congrats to Swystun for making a credible run.

    Some good races but majority of incumbents will succeed. Possible upset in Ward 10.

    Anon,your comments regarding Sywstun speak to how small minded you are..and sadly people like you are allowed to vote!
    I am not a supporter of Swystun but unlike you and I, she had the courage and conviction to put her name forward for mayor.
    Its not necessary to tear soemone down simply because you support another. You are probably one of those people who complains that noone is interested in civic politic!
    Is it any wonder few people run given the type of abuse they take when they put themselves out there. Show some maturity!
    Lenore, I do not support your bid...but I thank you for running!!

    I hate censorship bloggers so let's lay off the slanderous comments.

    Thanks for the predictions. I have a group that has a little election pool going and I hope, because of your help, to make a cool $20.

    We'll chat tomorrow.
