Cute Counts

I have been having this same discussion all week long with my friend who is a dedicated worker in the Lee Harris campaign. You can argue back and forth with people all you want. Some of them are still going to vote for Kemba Ford just because she is good looking. It must be on the mind of more than just me. Wendi Thomas made it the topic of her weekend column. I have to look back and see how proactive Wendi has been in previous elections or is this personal. The article has undertones of jealousy even though it was pretty accurate overall.

Talk about stirring the pot just in time for the upcoming special election this Thursday. I was all prepared to agree with Wendi's assesment then I thought again. This package is simply too neat. Why is Wendi Thomas being so critical of Ms. Ford anyway?  This is one of those situations where she should have remained neutral. Makes you have second thoughts about Lee Harris.  There goes that question mark again. Kemba is the epitome of what Wendi usually advocates for in her articles. Why is she suddenly changing teams?  It's obvious Lee Harris is being supported by those who Ms. Thomas usually disagree with.

This could be a case of reverse psychology. Three card molly if you must. Where Wendi wins no matter who loses. An endorsement from Wendi Thomas could work either way. This might lose as many votes as it gains depending on who you're talking to. In a race that might be decided by a few votes. This article might make the difference in the outcome. Kemba Ford could very well win. Even though she hasn't spent any money. But based on this article Wendi  isn't concerned about future lines of communication. Unless of course this was part of the plan.
