Apathy leads to all sorts of mischief. I've forwarded to Kathy a message from Valerie Abbott. It seems someone engaged in a black op, sending out a smear sheet supposedly from her campaign; but as Valerie notes, "you can easily tell that it isn't mine because it has both a misspelled word and improper grammar in it!" I'm excited about Howard's candidacy and have been involved a little in his campaign--will be pulling a little duty at the Botanical Garden tomorrow. Here's an invite from howard's campaign: VICTORY PARTY! 7PM-10PM Amani Raha Martini Bar 2901 2nd Avenue South Birmingham, AL 35233 Open Bar, hors d'oeuvres, Come Celebrate With US. ALL are welcome! Bring your friends!! Whoever wins it’s up to the citizens to drive the agenda. Apathy leads to all sorts of mischief.

Even if he has pissed off the last remnants of the machine somehow.

That Arrington endorsement was indeed mind-blowing. Oh, and I hope you get those brain-pieces sorted soon. That Arrington endorsement was indeed mind-blowing.

Most city-dwellers I've talked to are going with either Cooper or Bell, but my sample size is quite small. Thanks, Tricia.

I love Valerie Abbott, but I just don't know that an "insider" can do anything but give us more of the same. And after Arrington came out in support of Kincaid, my brain exploded and I'm still trying to sort out where all the pieces went. Also... vote Howard!!!! :-) I still haven’t finalized my decision — but I’m leaning toward Cooper.
