One of the best written free, weekly alternative papers in existence within 10 miles of the heart of Columbia posed an excellent question - does Bob Coble deserve another term as Mayor?
Free Times asks the question as a poll - vote here - but setting aside the jokes the question of who would replace Bob is a serious one.
No one on council seems worthy of the position. Each has been serving with Bob for some time except for Belinda Gurgel. She can't run because no one can be told to "Gurgel once, rinse, repeat."
Kirkman Onassis Kennedy Bush Finlay has supporters and if they turned out he would be guaranteed 21 votes.
Sam Davis seems too busy.
EW Cromartie could carry the overweight vote.
Tameka Isaac Devine would make a great council member. We urge her to run. Oh, wait.
Daniel Rickeman is the backbone of council. If he ran for Mayor no one would be left to annoy the Mayor. That's Daniel's job.
Who else is left? Steve Benjamin? You can't elect someone with two first names.
