Not entirely true. Many of the other candidates were members of the city council who had legitimate shots at the mayoralty. Also, because of a recent change in the city charter, this was the first time that the term would be four years rather than two; that especially attracted candidates. The race was not conceived of as Democrats vs. Republicans.
