Good summation, Rob.
This description rang especially true for me: "...Lorraine ... seems oblivious..."; and, in my observation, about a lot more than only electricity.
For example, I asked what she as Mayor would do about road safety, pointing out that this County had the most dangerous roads in the sate.
The canned answer that came spilling out was about road building; and, yes, within the first fifty words was the word 'legislature'.
I (with a genuine attempt at politeness) gently interrupted and reiterated my question as addressing safety -- she became lost, and did a few minutes of rambling before someone mercifully rescued her with another question. It seemed that a question on road safety was not an issue about which she had practiced for -- a Ronald Reagan moment.
