We just came out of Murphy Paul being SWB’s hand puppet and refusing to punish crooks unless it involved his Q Dawg brothers getting ahead in the process.


Are we at bedrock suck here or could a Ted James run BRPD get worse?

Ted James is much more competent than Broome, but people keep forgetting that he is a true blue democrat and a race pimp when it benefits him. I keep trying to warn people that he could be worse than Broome, who is largely an issue from benign neglect.

I truly believe a decent republican candidate could actually win this election if they have some money and charisma and actually campaign. With the black vote split and the presidential election driving turnout in the open primary, a republican could make the runoff. In the runoff, turnout will be low which greatly favors republicans. However, all of the conservative “money” people are throwing their bucks around James. It’s insane.

It's an interesting question. Senator SWB was, for the most part, pretty moderate and about as pro-business as a black Democrat could get. The knock on her used to be she was an empty suit. Mayor-President SWB moved away from that some.

Ted James is very sharp, charismatic and hard-working. But he is more liberal/progressive than SWB he also has a history of being more combative.
