[The Mayor]

Here are the results from last night. I expected as much, voter turn out, voter apathy and the robotic way they vote is something that is virtually impossible to break.

Time to move on to the next battle.

I am so sorry, Rus. But, like you, I am not surprised. What a disappointing election this has been on all fronts. I was just now reading the "albanysinsanity" page and wondering how it went with your election results when your ping came in.

I am just shaking my head in wonderment over the turn our country has taken. :-(

Rus, you made very real inroads where there haven't been challenges before. I am very proud of you and know that it will get better each time. They are beginning to know who you are now, and what you stand for.

Thank you for sharing the results with us...your loyal supporters!

On with the show!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Bummer.

We'll be rooting again for you in your next battle.

I was praying you would win, The Mayor, I'm disappointed. NY really did itself major harm last night. A bad night all around. You are so right. On to the next fight! We can't give up, ever.

You are still to be commended for your tireless efforts. You are so correct, "time to move on".

[Kitty Mittens]

I'm Sorry, and Yesterday was just a Mistifying Day to me. :( You are One of the Great Men of our Country, a Hard-Working, Praying Patriot, and I Praise our God for you.

Lord Bless you, my Brother in Christ.

Hey, Rus.
We may be bruised and battered, but we are not going to quit.
We will be back to fight another day.

Thank you for fighting the good fight.

[JustAmy]

I had hoped to catch up before having to leave but I didn't make it. :(

Finest FRiends ...... have a warm, fuzzy Wednesday.
I'll be back later.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you for trying. We appreciate it.

Hi Mayor. I'm sorry things didn't work out, but the whole day was disappointing in general. Hopefully, there will be better results next time!

You fought a good fight. You did good works and spread truth like good seed everywhere you went. May God who sees in secret, and works what we cannot work, cause fruit from what you have sown in righteousness.
