I'm sure Edwards would do a fine job, but the mayor is so toxic that I have to fall behind Farmer, the only candidate not in his employ.
I'd be fairly happy with either of them and if it looks tight, I'll vote strategically. But Marty is actively poisoning my neighborhood and his staff are callous and cruel about our complaints. All other things being equal, I'll take the candidate who doesn't owe him anything.
