[Mpls] RE My Candidacy for Mayor - Graham Thread

[Jason Sittko]

I think Jim has it right.

While I personally would not want Rybak endowed with access to such daily
social preaching to millions, I believe this is indeed where his skill set
lies ...essentially having no plan or opinion while somehow convincing his
masses that he is "on top of it."

More importantly, I further agree with the Graham diagnosis.  However, I
also feel the patient would not be willing to listen to any doctor
prescribing an antidote... i.e. if we can't handle Peebles telling it like
it is...will we accept it from our Mayor?  I doubt it.  Running for
high-level local positions has become a task that requires promising known
undeliverables with extreme political correctness.  However, this new "PC"
has morphed into a new media sense that has nothing to do with race or sex
but a deeper inability to simply answer a question and rather merely
"respond" to it.

So...he'll likely get re-elected.


In RT's defense, it would be nice to see what any mayor could do in this
city if they actually had the power to enact their vision; i.e. not hampered
by council control.
