As the race for the corner office and Decision Bartertown draws to an end, SimCitizens everywhere are forced to choose the future of Bartertown. This race could best be summarized as a three way race, between an incumbent with poor accountability, an independent with little experience but lots of money, and an eerilly exacting and slightly macabre machine. Independent Steve Gates has continued to hammer incumbent Mayor Ng with a negative ad campaign, calling him self servile, negligent and dictator like. Mayor Ng has for the most part ignored these television ads with his only response being "Neener neener neener." Both Gates and Ng have largely ignored Isaac the Robot as a serious threat in the race.

i agree with andy. the campaign was a stunning move. seriously. it provided an extremely unique (and timely) vehicle for you to present/explore the concerns/issues/topics that the city (and the Mayor/Planner) have been addressing/considering/neglecting.
When I originally concieved of the idea, Gates was Mihos: a rather enthusiastic financially independent businessman with no experience. Isaac was Ross: probably the most intelligent, socially responsible decision, also the most far fetched and the most ridiculed. (I got lazy and didn't want to create a Healey). I even based Gates' and Isaac's platforms on some of the statements from Mihos/Ross.
But as much as I wanted to be Deval Patrick, I'm really Menino.
