Karl Dean is Nashville's New Mayor!

Karl Dean is mayor! Karl Dean is mayor! Karl Dean is mayor! Karl Dean is mayor!

Can you tell I am happy about this?

To be honest, I was worried. I thought it would be a closer race than it was; I was afraid that Bob Clement might win. I thought people might vote for Clement mainly out of name recognition.

But it turned out to not be true. Bob Clement conceded much earlier than expected. I would have thought he would have waited a while longer before giving it up.

But he didn't, and he made a gracious speech. On the news tonight, someone said that it sounded like he was bowing out of politics in general.

Karl is a good guy, and he will be good for Nashville at this point in time.
