I have to agree with Fiddler. Campaigns are tough fights at any level, as are policy fights on the council. Personal attacks (even at a family level) have always been and always will be a part of politics, regardless of any "Why does it have to be this way?" complaints from commentators/journalists/etc. To have been surprised by any of this is definitely naive, and makes me wonder whether she was really ready to be on the council.

It's disappointing, because I'm no fan of Evans and was initially optimistic about her campaign. We need people with fresh ideas and a positive approach to reform and governance, but if they can't take some hard punches and throw some elbows when needed, they're not going to be very effective at any level of politics.
