to elect this woman. Ignorant and bigoted, that's the ward voter. And I doubt the local teevee news or newspapers will provide adequate coverage of her crackpot positions. All she has to do is spew enough hatred and repeat how "conservative" she is--in ads paid for by the mercers, no less--and she's a shoo-in.
Sure hope I'm wrong.
