See Record story below. What passes for political analysis at the Record would never have passed muster anywhere else, whether at the Washington Post (or the Appalachian Observer):
1. It's early -- too soon to say that Jones will likely be re-elected.
2. Nope, Mayor JOESPEH LEROY BOLES, JR. must run for Mayor if he wants to stay Mayor. He must resign to run under Florida law. He stays a Commissioner if he doesn't run for Mayor. If he runs for Mayor and he's not elected, he's gone.
3. The only incumbent seat that's safe is DONALD CRICHLOW. SUSAN BURK is retiring. Four of five Commission seats -- and City Manager WILLIAM B. HARRISS' Nixonian death-grip on power -- are up for vote on November 4th.
As Tom Wicker's journalist character (Richmond P. Morgan) states in his great American political novel, "Facing the Lions," "anything anybody's got to sell you ain't worth buyin'" Our political machine has obtained two (2) misleading stories in this week's Record. When will the Record investigate and stop with PR spin for malfeasance?
