When I lit drop for my independent campaign in Ward 11, I encounter older, mostly male and vocal residents who say there's no point, or they have no interest. I so much want to suggest to them that their indifference may be why things are as they are, but some people are just sick of it. The louder angry ones may be statistically negligable, but behind closed doors, I think a milder version of that attitude is prevalent. W11 hasn't been very close but for 2017, but some other recent ward races have been in the recount range. The mayor race feels very close to me, especially if the runners up among challengers bring votes up to Omar Fateh (assuming he is the #1 among the three now. I've begun to wonder.). Also, this bit about undecideds: Am I wrong that if you were undecided at that poll time that you might be window-shopping David or Hampton, but are probably not going to break for Omar Fateh? I'm a little surprised there isn't an explicit `Anyone but Omar'' campaign to blunt the `Don't Rank Frey' rally. We shall see.
