MARY NORWOOD IN RUNOFF FOR MAYOR OF ATLANTA!

Last night, Ray, Yasiel and myself were at the post election party for Mary Norwood For Mayor. It was a first for all of us, and quite an exciting time. Exciting to be part of such a historic moment in the history of Atlanta. It's come down to a runoff election on December 1 between Mary Norwood and former State Senator Kasim Reed. Historic in the sense that if she wins, Mary Norwood will be the first white Mayor in the City of Atlanta in 36 years! Some amazing stuff.

We had a chance to visit with supporters as well as be there during several live news breaks on the local tv channels. It was fun to see the night progress, both in excitement and in the people in attendance.

The election party was held at the Varsity Restaurant in Midtown Atlanta. Itself is a historic landmark, having been in Atlanta since 1928! Several rooms were reserved for the party, one of them being for press announcements and such. I choose to position myself here, to keep tabs on what was happening with the election.

We had every major local station there, as well as numerous newspaper reporters and raido stations!

If was fun to see the change when Mary arrived...

While Mary Norwood for Mayor was able to capture 46% of the vote, it was not enough to avoid a runoff. So she told supporters she would hit the ground running today, for the next 27 days till the runoff vote!

Morris Diggs of Fox5 News was one of the first reporters to speak with Mary while a crowd of supporters filled in behind her.

The Varsity Restaurant Midtown was decked out in Blue and White, the colors of Mary Norwoods campaign.

Mary Norwood In Runoff For Mayor of Atlanta and we will be out there talking to our neighbors, making sure they cast their vote!

Here's hoping for another victory party in 27 days!
