COAST, Cranley and SMitherman have been extremely quiet today. No interviews, no 700wlw shows, no Enquirer stories. Only a generic statement from Cranley. That usually means they are plotting something

Video: http://www.local12.com/news/features/local-12/stories/first-streetcar-rail-now-installed-4532.shtml#.Ul13IBYk_ww "If Cranley wants to stop the Streetcar, he's gonna need a jackhammer"

Tom Luken just said cancelling Cincinnati streetcar project wld only cost a couple million $$ vs of half a billion $$ to keep it going

He blocked me on twitter Tom Luken will be on 700wlw at 12:06 to discuss the Cincinnati Streetcar construction. Calls it "A sad, sad day in Cincinnati History"

Rail is in place. Here's your undeniable visual progress. Video:

Oh, please do share some tasty tidbits with us. I love it when Tea Party types get their underwear all bunched up! 700wlw news guy this morning was reading the streetcar news with the enthusiasm of an obituary. Dramatic pauses, his voice was choked up and really low. It was just so over the top dramatic Dusty Rhodes has been going nuts on twitter:

Cranley, 700wlw and the tea partiers are FLIPPING OUT. Its hilarious and sad to see at the same time

Jeff ruby came out publicly against the streetcar. Called it 'a streetcar named disaster' and then blamed the 'socialist media' via Twitter for it

Another realtor group endorses Cranley, smitherman and his cohorts. Home builders association

I hope there is a good moderator because I'm hearing COASTers are trying to troll the entire q and a

Ice can definitely be an issue, both on the wires and in the switches. They will probably run the cars continously, even in the middle of the night, to keep ice from forming on the wires. Most modern light rail and streetcar systems have switch-warmers thes days. Thanks for this explanation. Why do we still have people who get so defensive every time someone asks about a potential issue? It's like it's some personal attack to ask questions. (Obviously not referring to quimbob or John). Is just a byproduct of dealing with opponents unfortunately. Opponents have used the concern troll approach at times. Frustration of 5+ years of obstruction can take its toll understandably

Cincinnati is so weird. NAACP and the tea party are inseparable The green party endorses GOP /tea party /NAACP We have dem running as a Republican in the mayoral race We have a county auditor pretending to be a Democrat

Got a flyer from Christopher Smitherman. On the tiny flyer he somehow manages to cram in the streetcar, parking, and a detroit/stockton bankruptcy reference.

David Mann went after the streetcar today in the Enquirer It will be interesting to see what the Enquirer says on the matter Do they oppose it but state the evidence that it should not be stopped due to the monetary ramifications or do they play for page clicks & string out the controversy for revenue By the way, they are projecting voter turnout to be one of the worst ever for this election. EVERY vote is crucial. An anemic turnout means a John Cranley victory and a John Cranley victory most likely means an all anti-streetcar/anti-city council

Like ObammaCare this thing is a train mess. Probably the worst thing since the liberals caused 9/11... Coast is right. The streetcar is worse than 9/11

Sittenfeld is pretty much a shoe in at this point. It would take a major major upset for him not to be re-elected. He's got the most money and name recognition in the city council race. He played both sides perfectly. Conservatives and dems will vote for him

John Cranley's proposal to stop the streetcar 'might be the worst idea ever floated by a mayoral candidate' according to this DC blog article http://dc.streetsblog.org/2013/10/11/cincy-mayor-candidate-john-cranley-stop-streetcar-now-in-case-im-elected/

Kevin Flynn comes out swinging against the streetcar http://cincinnati.com/blogs/letters/2013/10/11/city-is-doing-fine-without-streetcar/ Sometimes I think these people don't realize it is being currently built. Rail is going on next week.

Not surprising. I'm more shocked that she allowed them to publicly endorse her

Early voting has been 'anemic' avoiding to the Enquirer http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20131010/NEWS0106/310100042/So-far-early-voting-turnout-anemic- This favors john Cranley since his base is extremely angry (not saying Qualls doesn't but we saw how the primary went) We have got to stay canvassing the neighborhoods like John said. This election is going to be tight. While it's conceivable that Cranley and smitherman cannot stop phase 1A, they will destroy it slowly to make it as unsuccessful as they can while killing the uptown phase and stopping any chance of rail in the future. My opinion is that This city's momentum would be grinded to a halt if we let the Westside, smithereens, GOP and tea party have their way with their candidates smitherman, Cranley, murray, Wegman, winburn

Laketa Cole called into the Lincoln Ware show today and said "Black people do not like the streetcar. It barely goes 3 miles and doesn't go into our hoods"
