The Gloves Came Off But ....

The Gloves came off at Wednesday's NACCP Debate/Forum (click on Gazette's reporting), but I think the candidates taking the gloves off did more harm than good to their respective campaigns. Let's be real folks -- Henry Turner went too far on his attack of Gerron Levi -- (No More Women Votes for You) --Michael Jackson appeared like a spoiled child the entire evening evidenced by how far he sat from Mr. Turner pouting like a spoiled child, and his dismissal of the recent Washington Post endorsement of Rushern Baker appeared to be nothing but sour grapes; Gerron Levi, even though understandably so, responded to Henry Turner's attack on her like a "sapphire sister". (Ok, ok, her emotions that she demonstrated were entertaining). Mr. Servant of the People, Sam Dean, garbled his angry and frustrated message as it related to the vandalizing of signs, and in my first interpretation, I thought that he was referring to three of the remaining four candidates as -- A Thief, A Coward, and a Liar. (I was trying to distinguish who was who). It was explained to me later, and after reading the Gazette's interpretation that I understood in fact Mr. Baker and Mr. Dean have both had their campaign signs vandalized. I have personally seen "thief" spray painted on Mr. Baker's signs and "Liar" spray painted on Mr. Dean's signs. The only signs that seem to remain in tact are SHERIFF Michael Jackson's. Come on Candidates -- Can't We All Play Fair in our sandboxes?

Emotions will run at least as high when you're IN office, as when you are dealing with the campaign. All of the candidates are old enough tht they ought to know not to let themselves be "gotten." What a sad state of affairs. We're sure going to have our work cut out for us, especially AFTER election day!
