Let The Games Begin!

Since the leftie PAC, Local Solutions, sent this Times- Standard editorial out over its mailing list yesterday, the TS must have a point. The battle between Bonnie Neely and Nancy Fleming for Neely's seat on the Board of Supervisors might well be the Left vs. Right fight of the next local election. Interesting that both Neely and Flemming are Republicans, although I don't think anyone could label Neely a conservative. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, what issues will be focused on and, most of all, who wins.

I think it's a safe bet that Local Solutions will endorse Neely, except you have to wonder if they'll consider Neely progressive enough for them, especially after their endorsement of some of the worst candidates on the ballot this last election. I'm not so sure that Neely will want their endorsement but, if she can get some local conservative types to back her, as well, it might give her the appearance of having support across the board. I can't think of any local conservatives that would support Neely. Then again, I'm not really in that loop. I'd almost feel safe in predicting the endorsements for either candidate will be split along left and right lines, again, assuming Neely decides to openly identify herself with the Left.

Should be an interesting fray.
