Timing Is Everything

When you only have less than three months to make your case. You can't afford to virtually disappear for a whole month and expect to make a big splash. Kenneth Whalum should have been as visible as Charles Carpenter has been. Since he directed his efforts at getting the young vote. He needed to do something to motivate them. So far they have been the least active group of voters in early voting. If he ever ha d a chance of winning he needed to be the loose cannon he has always been. I haven't heard much from him since the incident with the two women causing a much publicized disturbance in his church took place. That gained more negative than favorable feedback. http://indepcons.blogspot.com/2009/08/dirty-politics.html I think this was planned and had its desired effect. It managed to keep the most outspoken candidate in the race relatively quiet. I don't know exactly how to interpret this sudden rise in the polls.

This candidate clearly has a well thought out agenda. I'm just not so sure it's for the benefit of the entire city. He has a definite plan that can only be achieved with him having control of the city. No other candidate is going to cater to that particular demographic. He wants to expand on the entertainment industry.We parted ways politically when he said he didn't support consolidation. I thought he would have been a good congressman but now I see that wasn't part of the master plan. It requires the hands on approach not a job in Washington.

This man doesn't have an image problem. It would be great if some candidates could wake up and miraculously be him. There isn't a cloud looming over his head. He is dapper,well educated, smooth talker. Who has a smart and beautiful wife. In a different time he would be the ideal candidate. Just not right now. You can't make up for fifty years in two. Go to his website below and see what you think. Timing is everything.

  2. In the not to distant future a Kenneth Whalum with a Myron Lowery platform could win.

    All those banking on the youth are a few years away from there visions coming to past. By then they'll no longer be the 18-34 crowd. Needless to say, some of their positions will have changed by then. The presidential hype haasn't trickleD down to local politics.
