I'm a Municipal Politics Junkie

After going to 9 mayoral candidate debates, I feel like a political junkie. Why would anyone (other than a candidate) go to that many? I went to pray. I wasn’t the only one. There were a few of us who went to the meetings specifically to pray for truth and righteousness to prevail.

At the final debate I was sitting beside someone who told me that her 82-year-old salt-of-the-earth father surprised her by saying that if Larry Di Ianni and the pot-smoking guy were the only two candidates, he would vote for the pot-smoking guy.

I would certainly consider it.
