Thanks Stephen.  I find anyone willing to run for mayor infinitely interesting.

These people sound way too sincere to become politicians.  Only practiced chameleons can actually get elected.  ;)

Let's cut to the chase.  The real question to ask prospects:  To get elected, you need to have support from special interests because you need lots of money for a campaign and they are the ones who will give it to you.  What special interests are supporting you and why?
