Tomlinson should also be thinking about this:
Proudfoot's other mayoral candidate Lance Thrale entered the race in the eleventh-hour as a complete unknown, but still managed to get 329 votes! That's only 52 votes less than Tomlinson who had massive backing from at least 2 Proudfoot cottage associations, was an incumbent member of council, and is very well known.
Which begs the question: Where did Lance get his votes? Considering the division between Proudfoot and the Locals, we can safely assume that not many came from outside Proudfoot.
But isn't Tomlinson Proudfoot's champion and golden-boy? Yet apparently nearly half the ratepayers of Proudfoot preferred a virtual stranger over Paul Tomlinson.
Maybe having Sainsbury and Dingwall join his team helped Thrale, but Tomlinson is starting to look more and more like Kearney's own George W. Bush.
