FTFA:

"After the results were in, Arroyo said the lack of interest in the race, and the elimination of the preliminary election hurt his candidacy."

Kind of reminds me of the way Dems always blame a loss on a voting bloc who failed to turn out--"We would have won if 18-25s had voted!" Yeah, but you lost, so STFU.

Boston's voter turnout plummeted to its lowest level in more than two decades yesterday

Do they think that maybe -just maybe- people want leaders who aren't in it for power and glory and money and blow jobs?

TFA: "Arroyo gathered with supporters at Slades Bar & Grill in Roxbury and said he accepted the people's 'verdict' and was grateful he had the privilege of serving them for four years."
