So, I checking up on Flint's mayoral race, and I see some guy named Dayne Walling (who I've never heard of) ends up getting 44% of the vote and Brenda Clack (who I've heard of, but only barely) ekes out a 14-vote lead over Buchanan to get a fraction over 16% of the vote.
From comments I read a Michigan Live people are still saying that Clack is a shoe-in because the black vote in Flint was split so many ways, but is it treally that simple? Does this Walling guy have any chance of winning? I'm thinking Walling could have a chance at winning because of the 'change' message that's still resonating even at the local level, these days. I mean, Dave Bing just ousted an establishment candidate down in Detroit, yesterday. How popular is Clack, and what is she popular for?
