Well.what I am hearing is the voters are looking at race and not qualifications or agenda, and yeah-buddy it pretty much has worked that way on both sides for quite some time! Most voters couldn't tell you anything about the candidates other than what they have heard on a TV commercial. I made a few hundred calls for Chaka Fattah in a few wards and many voters were undecided, couldn't name all the candidates, hadn't done any research, and if they picked a candidate..they had a superficial reason for doing so. What does that say about the process? The mayor's election is a popularity contest among a bunch of uninformed voters driven by TV ads and race (color). I posted based on off-list post I received about trees, Fattah, and Brady. I decided to make my opinions public. I am curious what Neighbors think about the alliance between Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell and Tom Knox just announced.

Are the young gay R's also white and suburban? And carpenters? Who are using fraudulent city addresses and changing to D? It sounds worse than bored...

One said "Knox is the only logical choice." If I know two, there must be many more like them. Frank On May 2, 2007, at 06:03 PM, KAREN ALLEN wrote: >> From: "S.
