The crowded mayor's race means that a splinter candidate needs only to get 17-20 percent to make it through the primary. An open seat and a very open race.

Limbaugh’s blast was fair comment, but it was not journalism, I argued. He made no attempt to walk through the issue, and certainly never called me. It was clear he had not read my story.
