Hmmm, still, I think I go with lack of ideas rather than abundance of bad ideas (in general, this is not saying Peyton has an abundance of bad ideas).

Yeah, I don’t have much against Peyton, except for the fact that his decisions on downtown development seem to be more influenced by campaign contributors and what his friends think, than whats good for the city.

I got kind of the same vibe from Jackie Brown. The few times I heard her speak, it sounded as if she was reading from a Democratic Party talking-points memo. There were not a lot of original ideas or thinking, at least in my opinion. I tend to gravitate away from politicians who spend their time pointing out everything the “other guy” is doing wrong. I believe it attests to a lack of ideas on their own part.

Fuck way! I voted for Jackie Brown, too, and had the same good feeling doing so. Not that Peyton’s really done anything terrible that sticks out in my mind, but I am just not comfortable with a (another) white, oil-billionaire, (mostly) conservative guy running my government because no one can out fundraise him. That’s just me.
