We have an election next month here in the nations capital. For a change we actually have an interesting run for the Mayor's chair. I think its the first real race in like 9 years. Bob C is on the verge of becoming yesterday's man, as he sits third in the polls behind Alex Munter and Larry O Brien.

Charielli's act has worn thin on the city faithful. He's taken credit for just about everything that has happened here in the last 10 years. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact that a horrible second candidate got 25 percent of the vote last time for doing nothing should have wrung the bell in big bad Bob's beano, but alas he's a Martinite type liberal, that believes those living on his coat-tails.

O brien probably has possibilities, but can't seem to grasp that running a government is a whole lot different than a corporation. I wish he had 3 years watching how city hall works, or in the case of this city doesn't work. He'd be an actual choice.

Which leaves us with Mr. Munter. Munter has excelled at everything he's ever done. Started a newspaper at 16, regional councillor in his 20's that made sure Kanata got its share. He's still fresh and full of vision. He'll make a great mayor. My friends say he's a ndper, who the hell cares, he's also the best one for the job. Actually by a margin comparable to the average sens leafs final score.
