hizzoner the mayor lost the bid to oppose Bob Ney in November. Space took 39% of the vote. Sulzer and Jennifer Stewart each took 25%, with trailing candidate Ralph Applegate mopping up the remaining 11%.
There's evidently a reaction in Ohio against Establishment candidates in both parties. Or maybe local voters objected to Sulzer's hideous toupee as much as I did to his reactionary, anti-gay stance on the social issues of the day.
