Red Ken to get the boot?

Voters in London will go to the polls today, and Hizzoner Red Ken Livingstone appears to be on his way out.

Cool.

from Yahoo News:

LONDON (AFP) - London mayor Ken Livingstone went head-to-head with his maverick rival Boris Johnson Thursday, amid predictions the Conservative challenger could just win, if only by a blond hair’s breadth.

The “Ken versus Boris” contest, coming to a climax after gripping the capital for months, is by far the most high-profile poll clash in a day of local elections across England and Wales.

Livingstone was long assumed to be cruising to re-election. But Johnson surprised many by taking an opinion poll lead earlier this year, and the Labour Party candidate has only got back on terms in recent weeks.

An election-day poll by the London Evening Standard put Johnson six points ahead, but the newspaper said the result was too close to call.
