A Democrat winning? In Jacksonville?

May 18, 2011|By Mike Lafferty

And now for something completely unexpected: A Democrat is beating the Republican candidate in the Jacksonville mayoral race. Alvin Brown was ahead of Mike Hogan by about 600 votes earlier today. They?re still counting absentee votes (which usually favor Republicans) and provisional ballots (which sometimes favor Democrats), so the outcome is far from certain.

How Alvin Brown was able to win Jacksonville mayoral race

By Matt Galnor

A race many thought would be a slam dunk for Republican Mike Hogan turned into a major victory for Democrat Alvin Brown, who became Jacksonville's first African-American mayor.

-snip-

Hogan won 57 more precincts than Brown, and won two more than he did in the March election. But where Brown won, he won huge - an average of 76 percent to 24 percent. Brown kept it close in districts outside of Hogan's Westside power base. Hogan's average margin of victory was 62-38.

about the result last night.
My bad - thanks for the links folks. :D

We saturated 'em with positive. It wasn't a negative campaign, we focused on his roots in the community.

It would be about time. I lived in SoFla for almost 19yrs and we left in 2002 seein how the wind was set for puke rule when Alan Nagle was elected mayor.

I did Alvin Brown's direct mail campaign. Good stuff, focusing on his roots in the J'ville area, but still, this was a race we had kind of written off...who would have thought a Dem could win this one? I agree that it's a bellweather for the Republicans, who have over-reached once again.

As much as I love DWS (she is also a client of ours), I don't know that she had much to do with this. She wasn't appointed until this race was well underway, and probably already in the bag (although no one knew it yet).

looked at reasons and thought Scott's unpopularity was #1, but she did mention Debbie and the DNC.
Thanks for the facts.

Jackoffville is ground zero for Floriduh's Tea Potty.
