1.This was the most overrated mayoral race in memory.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake had some attractive opponents, and one of them had Bill Cosby on his side. Plus, they all talked about something that should have excited voters ¿ cutting property taxes. But that never gained traction as an issue ¿ the last TV commercial I saw for Jody Landers didn't even mention it ¿ and the challengers developed no other issue to either attract attention to themselves or to pin as a game-changing negative on Rawlings-Blake.
