The people elected conform utterly to the views of the vast majority of Boulder, who are neither excessive social climbers, gay, nor all that liberal. They're tolerant, home oriented, value actual knowledge and respect smarts, and likely to support those values in their Council. Who knew?
It pains conservatives that Boulder has been a huge success without their exclusive rule, which their reading of the divine genetic code suggests cannot be.
It pains the Left they haven't been able to turn Boulder into a civil Antioch College of absurdity (despite sipped Kool Aid periodically) and allow them to be martyrs in various incarnations of class war failure.
Boulder continually, and politely, apologizes for its success. That REALLY steams the clueless. By which I mean the communities of Dickensian Architectural horror along 36, Denver and its satellite cities. Even Longmont and Ft. Collins have noted and installed some of the legislation Boulder was granted in the 50's and 60's to our great overall benefit.
We have been uncommonly lucky in our governments, and although MY slate wasn't elected, I do not foresee a descent into the gulags of socialism nor the jackboot regulation of heroic developments in this Council either.
Those so shocked by the results might want to conclude they neither really understand nor represent the city, on whose supposed behalf they start too many sentences with "Boulder wants....."
