So last night I was live blogging and tweeting up a storm about election results, but I sort of had a personal chip on my shoulder. See, I like voting, and, after having previously lived in Coral Gables, this was my first time casting a ballot in a City of Miami mayoral race. Except, as we all know, there was really only one legitimate choice. So, I threw some very light Twitter shade at Mayor Tomas Regalado and Francis Suarez, his would-be competitor who dropped out.

I woke up this morning to find responses from each and expected the worst. And it was the worst. They were both totally polite about it and made me feel like a classless jerk.

@Munzenrieder Thanks for the half-heartnedness
