Just Asking

If the Ward 1 election had gone the other way, would the YDN editorial board have written that:

[Livengood]'s first concern should be ward unity. The past campaign cycle was one of the nastiest in recent ward memory, and the alderman-elect must now reach out to [Shalek]'s supporters. While [s]he has brought new voices to the ward's political sphere, [Livengood] must also be able to work with [Shalek]'s campaign team, which included some of the ward's most dedicated -- and vocal -- constituents.
