"I don't know if I'll be elected mayor or not"

Oh Jefferson, I think the rest of us do.

SMITH IS ONE OF THE MOST DISAPPOINTING CANDIDATES I CAN THINK OF. GOOD JOB, DUDE... YOU REALLY SQUANDERED EVERYTHING.

100% of his problem is his troubling personality, so he's decided to get past that by revealing even more about his troubling personality.

Savvy devil!

Remember how cute it was when everyone was handwringing over the possibility that Hales was testing negative messages about Smith? Siiiiiiiiiiigh.

Nothing like a too honest politician to bring out the usual snark. Can't wait to see what they do with the dishonest one.

The real problem in all of this is that there is too little opportunity for Smith's backers to blame his victims.

Mr. Cone: was Mr. Smith honest when initially confronted with his abhorrent and dangerous driving record? Was he honest when news of his assault of a woman half his size first came to light? Sorry you wasted a couple of hundred bucks on the guy. Lies by omission are stil lies. Since we have two liars as candidates (and one with violent tendancies), write in your vote for someone who deserves it more than these two!
