Which is a shame, really.

If he did, he’d be the leader of the Anyone But Ford bloc. It’s only because Smitherman was more popular to begin with that he picked up those votes. It’s not like he aquired them magically.

The problem is, outside our social circles, there is a lot of anger and resentment toward Miller. Pants is his candidate, only seems to be promising to be a Miller imitator, and was only the second choice of Miller himself.

Even before Ford became a real threat to to city, Smitherman had more than double Pant’s support.

Pantalone was never going to win this.
