I pay almost no attention to local politics -- I usually just vote for whoever inkbot says so that I don't have to think about it, or care -- but I can tell you for sure that there's nothing in the world that could make me vote for Rob Black, based solely on the amount of glossy crap that has shown in my mailbox over the last two weeks, some hyping him, but mostly bashing the other guy. I've been getting at least one a day, sometimes three a day, for the last two weeks. My mailbox has been 70% Rob Black by volume.

Nobody whose campaign has that much money to spend on full color direct mail can possibly be up to any good.
