If Bronco runs again in 2010 - he will win in another landslide. To think otherwise is lunacy, IMO.

Nothing changes. The media will not fall in love with him like they have with him as opposition, they will scream out "WHERE IS OUR TAX REDUCTIONS?" and Blinky will just stand there in front of the cameras like a deer in a cars headlights.
I will laugh.

Exactly. One person cannot change the city that dramatically, all the mayor's got is one vote on council.
The pedestrian bridges really didn't have much to do with the mayor (or council) at all anyway.
Council is mostly there to approve the recommendations of the various departments, it's not there to make recommendations to those departments. Council can't possibly know every single detail that goes on in the city, nor should they.
