There was no "The Giants win the pennant!" moment of stunned jubilation last night, as Tom "What Me Worry" Menino cruised to victory in the mayoral race, defeating Maura "For The Love of God, I Mortgaged My House" Hennigan by a 35-percentage-point margin. South Boston, as promised last winter by angry residents who had their illegal parking privileges revoked, did not support the mayor. Unfortunately for Hennigan, parking is not that big a deal in much of the city, so snow removal didn't carry the day. In other not-so-surprising political news, incumbent Michael Sullivan remained mayor of Lawrence, in keeping with the statewide trend of mayors named Michael Sullivan. Texas also approved a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, shocking no one.
Surprise! Menino Wins
