The end is near!

The next few days will be very interesting. I am fascinated that major campaigns continue to operate by rules that are 50 years old. Both parties will fly in their biggest guns this weekend in anticipation of the Tuesday election. The only problem with this strategy is that the election has been going on for two weeks now.

Early voting has completely changed the battlefield and the electorate makes up its’ mind earlier. Americans may say they want efficiency, but what they really want is convenience. Early voting is custom made for the self-indulgent lifestyle. It is also perfect for the over-tasked, which is just about everybody.

The presence of President Bush and Former President Clinton will not mean a thing for those tens of thousands of early voters. The Bush strategy is to deliver the Republican faithful and campaign accordingly. That makes some sense. Why is Bill Clinton in northeast Arkansas? I have no idea.

Here is what I see. The governor’s race is very tight, the congressional races are yawners, and your local and state legislative races are where the action is. Get out there and vote like your life depends on it.

Little Rock Mayor’s Race

Things have been hectic around here, and I have neglected this important topic. Let’s get right to it.

Barbara Graves must be beaten. There is no more important task this election season than to restore local government to the people, and Ms. Graves is nothing more than a full time servant of real estate developers and special interests. These are the wonderful people who have defiled Highway 10 and favored a small sector of the city down on the river.

Her endorsement by Gene Fortson, hand picked pawn of special interests to serve on the City Board, speaks a volume.

Let me repeat. Barbara Graves is public enemy number one.

Jessie Mason is way past his time.

That leaves us with Mark Stodola and Bill Walker. As far as I am concerned, either one will do. Although Mark’s campaign is a little too slick for my simple taste, I do think he might be the better of the two.

If Bill Walker should stand up for black folks, that would be fine with me. I figure ordinary white folks might get some of the benefits too.

The move by Walter Smiley and Joyce Elliott to change Little Rock city government will shake the establishment to its’ very foundation. They will meet fierce and desperate opposition, but straight ward representation is the only way to throw out the rascals once and for all.

This is a rare moment of opportunity. Let us lay hold of it and make some necessary changes.

Now, I can’t wait to see what my pals Silas Doogod Jr. and Billy Bob Corleone have to say about this over at Little Rock 2006.
