Ever a fan of Gail Kerr, I have to refer you to her column in The Tennessean today. It lists a series of questions she recommends asking about the mayoral candidates to help a voter decide which one will be the best mayor for Nashville's future. Like: Who truly wants to be mayor and is not running just because he needs a job or is bored and wants something to do? Who would be most likely to make us proud versus the most likely to embarrass us with stupid gaffes? Who would you want to see represent Nashville on national television when the Titans win the Super Bowl?
Sort of puts the election in perspective. We're on our way to being a world class city. Let's pick a mayor who is a leader of national stature, with intellect, clear thinking and a fresh and honest way of speaking. Just gotta figure out which one that is. I have my candidate.
