Great discussion going on over at Ed Cone's place about the futility of trying to win a local election on the issues as opposed to pure name recognition.
John Hammer, your name keeps coming up for how successful you were with your write in campaign for mayor six years ago, care to join in or are you just content to be a lurker? Despite Hammer's best and much appreciated efforts to give non-incumbents some traction, it sounds like even the qualified challengers need to buy ink by the barrel to have a shot at getting elected.
Any chance we might hear from hear from the many News & Record folks who are loyal blog readers? Is it a conscious decision to ignore discussions of the issues or has someone higher up determined that an airing of the issues facing Greensboro are just of no interest to your readers? Do you even care what I think about us managing a hockey team or how I might have handled the whole affair differently?
Anonymous posting is OK by me. You all have home computers, so use them for something other than playing solitaire.
