Carol Chill Out

Ok, Herenton resigning is a big deal, but it doesn't happen until July 31st. There is plenty of time to comment. With that being said, I'm watching the 6 o'clock news and one of things mentioned is Carol Chumney has gone down to city hall. What did she think, he was leaving office right then and would turn the keys of the city over to her? We all know you came in second last October, therefore the news media would be coming to you for comment. You showing up to City Hall made you look like you are obsessed with being mayor.

Then this morning, I look at the Commercial Appeal and see these quotes from Chumney. "Memphis deserves better." and "We have high taxes, high crime and corruption". Thanks Captain Obvious. What did these quotes and the parachuting into City Hall accomplish besides making you look petty and obsessed? Damn, just chill out and take some time to think about what is coming up. There is going to be a special election in several months and you will not be able to run against Herenton anymore. You're going have to go from rock thrower, to someone who looks like they can lead the city. You aren't any closer to that now than you were at 3 pm Thursday. In fact you maybe further away.

Petty! Making an issue of the location for a tv interview is petty. She didn't call a press conference she was being interviewed. The location may have been picked by the station or being a lawyer she may have already been downtown. Point is all the other potential candidates were approached by ALL the media that day too. Let's see that includes Morris, Wharton and I suppose others. Yea this is big and the campaigning has already started. Looks like the list of "obssesed" candidates is getting longer daily!
I don't think any of the others are
doing a "chill out".

"Memphis deserves better" and "We have high taxes, high crime and corruption". I couldn't agree more.
Sure this is obvious to us in the blogosphere. But there are many in the city who have given up hope that a change is possible.
