Taking a minute to talk suburban races...
When I went to my Delaware County polling place this morning, at about 9:15 a.m., I was interested to learn I was voter number 91. That's in a precinct of 900-some registered voters.
That was not a big turnout, given that we've got some hot races: David Landau has raised more than $200,000 in his quest to be the first Democrat on the Delaware County Council in nearly 30 years, and in my own neighborhood Democrat Larry Chrzan is running aggressively to unseat 7th ward commissioner Jim McGarrity (as my daughter said in the voting booth this morning, pointing to Chrzan's name, "He came to our house!" I quickly pointed out that McGarrity himself was standing right outside our polling location.)
I'm interested to see if turnout picks up -- and interested in the surprises that could result in Delco if it doesn't.
