If Andrew had been running for Public Advocate of the Blogosphere, he might
have made it. There was plenty of buzz online.

Unfortunately, that didn't translate into buzz in the polling booths on
primary day in New York City. Andrew came in fourth, with the incumbent,
Betsy Gotbaum, essentially winning her reelection decisively (nobody's
runnning against her in the actual election).

Some of Andrew's ideas made it into the fray, notably open WiFi and ways to
make government more transparent and responsive. We'll see what's next.
