"Doomsday scenario…"

…or likely outcome? Goldy on the prospects for Richard Pope, erstwhile GOP gadfly, who captured the Democratic line on the November ballot because Democratic candidate recruiting fell short through.

...Pope not only wins, he turns out to be no worse than your average councilmember. Now that would be an embarrassment to both parties, and to the many journalists, editorialists and bloggers who have had so much fun poking fun at Pope over the years.

Might be just the embarrassment some of 'em need.
