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.

The “money” people want what they consider the safe bet. If they were to fund someone like prior candidates Bodi White or Steve Carter and lose, they have no stroke with the new administration.
They give no fricks about poverty pimp bullshite or anything else as long as they get sway on city government policy and contracts.

Okay, who is this "decent republican candidate" you speak of? I can think of a couple of people who check the right boxes... but they would never even consider running for that office (and who can blame them).

The black vote will be split, but only in the primary. There won't be any candidate with 51% so there will most definitively be a runoff. It pains me to say, but Smiling Ted James will likely win.
