It is 2 in the morning and I just got home from what has been an exhausting day. I will post more later when I have the energy to do so but I must report the results from the election. Keep in mind that the first-place candidate needs 40% of the vote in order to avoid a runoff.

Fernando Ferrer : 39.95%
Anthony Weiner : 28.82%
C. Virginia Fields : 15.92%
Gifford Miller : 10.19%
Christopher X. Brodeur : 3.77%
Arthur Piccolo : 1.36%

So it LOOKS like there will be a runoff between Ferrer and Weiner. Except they first have to now count all the paper ballots to ensure that Ferrer did indeed get less than 40%. That will take a week. With just another week after that until the runoff.

As Charlie Brown used to say, "I can't stand it. I just can't stand it."
