Who were Bruce’s other two friends? Just curious.
For the time being I’m surprised and slightly impressed.
The Reform Team members
Ed BIRCHAM
Douglas BRUCE
Richard BRUCE
Helen COLLINS
Gretchen KASAMEYER
With names I found an article. For anyone interested, the top five at-large candidates win. “Reform Party” need not apply, apparently.

We will see where Mike Merrifield will end up with 9,000 ballots still outstanding. I was down there helping chase in ballots for Skorman and it was clear many many of the slow pokes were left leaning.
Sorry to high jack my own post haha

Does anybody know?
5 seats were open. .
Brandy Williams and Tim Leigh are big losers regardless of the fact they won. A new charter amendment was passed moving two at large council seats to district oriented seats, so they’ll be out in 2013 automatically.
Also, the big self financers were big losers with Bahr and Gilmore spending something like 300,000 between them and getting 19% between the two of them.
I mean, I know that Bruce and his buds lost, but so what? Are the rest of them just as nuts or are the winners rational people who will let the city recover?
The common perception seemed to be that Bruce had enough of a base of support that he could sneak in against a divided field against reasonable Republicans and a few Democrats. But his noisy base didn’t translate into actual votes.
Those that won seem to be reasonable R’s
Still such a thing as a “REasonable R” I thought I was the last one to leave the party.
But saw where it was leading and turned back around. Good for them. Now les see what the new members do…
Interesting that the electorate voted to allow their elected officials more latitude (Mayor to attend Council meetings) and even supported something to expand government (I realize they aren’t creating new seats but presumably anything new when it comes to government wouldn’t be an easy sell in the Springs).
Also curious to get some thoughts on what’s likely to happen in the runoff. My two cents is that because Skorman is likely more liberal than Bach, (I mean, TheDeminator is working for the guy, how conservative can he be?) he probably has less room to improve in the runoff. Even though Skorman had more votes in the General, how many more Dems can there be down there?
Finally, hoorah for Doug Bruce not winning! That alone should be reason to celebrate for those of us that have long followed his career.
still support Doug Bruce scares the Hell out of me. His family can’t be that big.
