Well the candidates have been posted and for the next seven weeks it appears that the mud will be flying over the cyber waves. I expect that if I write anything good or bad about any of the eight aspirants for the nomination for mayor, I will receive a blast from the other's supporters.
I may and probably will comment why I believe one is more deserving then all the others, but I haven't reached that point yet. I am sure that all the "leaders" carry some baggage. Perhaps they have enough positive factors to overcome the negatives. I don't know enough about some of the outliers to dismiss them as not deserving consideration.
It will be a rough road to travel for those that do not have a strong faction support behind them. I also expect that there may be some switching of allegiance along the way.
I also anticipate that there will be some commentaries sent to this blog that are not pertinent to a particular posting. If they are in good taste I shall try to accommodate them.
That said I do not consider my self to be a "NewDemocrat/Republican". Certainly I am not an old "Team PlayerDemocrat". I consider myself to be a "Civic Realist" who was once proposed by the Republican party to fill a vacancy on the Council. My feelings were not hurt when the Council membership exercised their prerogative and selected someone else who was in their judgement better qualified.
