Potential Mayoral Candidates: You've Been Warned.
I'm sure you all saw Michael Davis' article in the Times last week titled 'Littlefield Currently Faces No Challenge For Re-election."
Like they taught him in journalism school, Davis put the good stuff up front. In the 2nd graph he quotes Ron saying:
“I would like not to have to devote so much attention to a potentially divisive and difficult campaign,” he said. “I’d like to keep working with the county and the Chamber and not have my attention drawn away to deal with diversions like a tumultuous and difficult campaign.”
He never even considered that the campaign could be a contest between two intelligent, well-meaning people who both have the good of the community at heart, but might disagree on how to go about making their vision for a well-run city come to pass.
Nope. Ron Littlefield, who is, make no mistake, the Worst Mayor this town has Ever seen, is letting all potential candidates know right up front that he'll get just as down-and-dirty as he did the last time. If you want your reputation smeared beyond recognition, go ahead, run for mayor. His Rovian minions are just dying to go to work on the fool that would dare to try to unseat him.
Ron Littlefield is the Hillary Clinton of Tennessee Valley politics. He will do and say anything to get and keep power. Why? Why did he want to be mayor so desperately when he's done nothing to show for it? Power. Right Billy Long? Isn't power it's own reward? Well, plus the money. Don't forget the money.
While the national democrats seem to be rejecting the win-at-all-cost Clintonian tactics, it's because they have a different, better choice. Will Chattanooga find an 'Obama' to run against this man? I know I need some Change I Can Believe In, right here in River City.
By the way, David M at Rabbit Valley Road wrote something about the shame of the Hamilton County Democratic Party. He's right and I hope they arrest every single official--democrat or republican--that sees public service as some kind of right to line their pockets while gleefully violating the public trust and more to the point, the law.
