Gulfstream, Florida election

Voters went to the polls yesterday in Gulfstream, Florida, population around 806, to elect five commissioners. What stands out is that this small town had six people running whereas Lake Worth, a city of 35,000 people couldn't get one person to oppose incumbents and step up to the plate. In spite of his millions and suing neighboring city Delray Beach to allow him to erect his campaign signs in their city, Martin O'Boyle only received 7% of the vote. Sometimes money is not a factor to winning.  The town manager in Gulfstream is a former member of Lake Worth's Finance Advisory board, Bill Thrasher.
