I thought I would start a centralized thread for this race to make it easier for people to follow the election. Please post what you think about this race.

You're saying that you don't know. I suspect others could answer your questions.
Assume the best and ask questions.

Ken,
It is telling that you chose to recite the successes of your candidate while either smearing others or suggesting they have no accomplishments to speak of. Be a good sport and allow the field to identify themselves, and allow the community judge their merits or lack there of etc. Ms. Hunt's accomplishments as a community organizer are, indeed, laudable; however, my concerns are whether or not a candidate can successfully interact with others, form alliances, refrain from unethical behavior, and so forth. Let's try to elevate the discussion a notch or two above the mud-slinging for the moment at least please.

@John
You should learn how to read posts. From the top down.
I added what I know to the list. Another poster started the list and filled in Tiffany's numerous accomplishments.
I do not believe what I inserted for the two candidates I know about would be considered mud slinging. It is the truth. And I believe it is very instrumental in their fitness for elected office.
At least in comparison to the mud slinging against Tiffany.
