Source: Friday, October 27, 2006, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette [1] Democratic voters in Pittsburgh Council District 1 took a bold step in a primary election three years ago when they chose a young man barely out of college and rejected a well-known incumbent. It paid off. Now Luke Ravenstahl is mayor and a special election will be held Nov. 7, 2006, to fill his seat. Has the Democratic Party learned from the voters' boldness? No. Its committee members nominated the all-too-familiar Darlene Harris, 53, of Spring Hill, the controversial former Pittsburgh school board member and president.
