Oh, God, they’re already predicting a long and expensive campaign for mayor in 2003. Someone shoot me, please.
There are already five presumed candidates, with the possibility of others. Right now, my preferences would be as follows, in reverse order of desireability:
Orlando “Empty Suit” Sanchez
Michael “Boy Wonder” Berry
Sylvester “Wayne’s World” Turner
Anybody else
If she hadn’t acted like a jackass in the last election, I’d love to see Debra Danburg throw her hat into the ring. Heck, I’d still like to see it. Maybe when I learn more about Bill White and Ed Wulfe I’ll feel differently, but right now I’m envisioning a Sanchez-Turner runoff, and the thought of it makes me ill.
I’d certainly like Danburg to run in the next mayoral election. She’d sap away left-wing votes from more serious Democratic candidates, and her constant bitter rantings would only serve to discredit liberal viewpoints. It would practically guarantee a Sanchez win. đŸ™‚
