If S.M. Holman is right it all came down to the CC Machine not being able to bring in the Bus-Block Vote when it, well, counted.

Which perhaps makes it clear just how many current Martinis really do owe their seats to the type of machinations previously perfected by groups like the BBoys and their ilk.

Speaking of which, according to Mark Hume, Justice Dohm has delayed the big trial again. It's now set to start Feb 2006 at the earliest.

Which is fine with us, because the closer the climax comes to 2009 the better as far as we are concerned.

But back to the matter at hand.

Is today's result a good thing or a bad thing for Jim Green's candidacy?

I'm not really sure, although I have a feeling that he would have done a pretty good job of turning Ms. Clark's polarizing rhetoric back on itself.

One thing I am sure of, however, is that no matter who wins in November the new mayor will actually care about what happens to Vancouver, both now and in the future.

And that is a victory for all Vancouverites.

btw: Best comment on the Public Eye comment threads once again goes to 'Name' who asked, "Any word yet re whether there might be a deal in the offing on a brand-new duplex at 16th and Columbia?"
