I don't know...it looks like Peduto is going to take about 52%, and Wander 27%. A.J. Richardson is tied with Wagner.

I'm wondering though, how much of a real difference there might be no matter who wins. Wagner wasn't supportive of Murphy's Lazarus plan or other ideas (including non-mayoral related, like the North Shore Connector). Unlikely he has changed his tune about big central-city government backed projects like that. All I want a mayor to do is pave the roads, keep public services working, and make the City more attractive to non-residents by lowering taxes and improving the schools. The government of a municipality the size of Pittsburgh often just needs to get out of the way by concentrating a few core government responsibilities and doing them well.
