It was the right thing to do.
As you know Joe Lance dropped out of the mayoral race Friday. It was the right thing to do. Joe's a good man, but his campaign was a non-starter and at this point in the race, all he was doing is splitting the progressive/anti-Littlefield vote. Unfortunately, Joe's name will still be on the ballot--causing some dillution of the vote-- but in effect it's down to Littlefield and Healy now. So this was a bad day for Littlefield.
Given the non-campaign Ron has been running, I'm guessing Ron's polling numbers tell him he can't be beat. It's probably true, but I can't stop trying. Four more years of sleazy mediocrity, in my opinion, is not acceptable. Four more years of riding the coattails of better, smarter, harder working men. Four more years of not-a-damn-thing happening in our neighborhoods. Four more years of funding Missy Crutchfield's goofiness, while a recycling program that was not very good to begin with has been made virtually useless by Littlefield's incompetence.
So while it's true that most Chattanoogans will fall sway to the power of incumbancy, we've got to try. Do you have a Healy sign in your yard? Do you have a bumper sticker on you car? Are you talking about who you intend to vote for with co-workers, at the gym and at your church? There's less than a month until the election--and there won't be a runoff this time folks, this is it.
For the record, I didn't say a word about either while there was more than one (serious) candidate opposing Littlefiend. That's over now. 'Nuff said.
