Pat Barksdale and Rasheed Abdul-Haqq were elected to the school board by a landslide on Tuesday.
Unofficial results as of late in the evening had Pat at 1005 and Rasheed at 788. Lisa Logan-Leach ran in the distance with 658.
The talk at the 'For The Kids' headquarters was of how hard the team had worked and the suspected damage that the last-minute sliming mailer did to the Logan-Leach team's prospects.
The dailies are expected to have firmer tallies in the morning, but the actual final counts -- including absentee ballots -- will be a few days coming.
For those of you who came out -- and urged others to also -- after reading the exposure of the last-minute mailing in these pages: Thank You!
Decent candidates, campaigning decently beat the money-and-sign machine.
Three cheers for decency!
Now, to work!

Dan,
Thanks for the clarification of the nature of the last mailing. I'd been out of town and found the "slamming" mailing that awaited me to be quite disturbing. Your blog set the record straight and made me determined to go out and vote!
