Atlanta’s Uninformed and Undecided.

For years Norwood many voted Republican, but since she wanted to run as a Democrat as the Mayor of Atlanta, she changed her voting pattern.

Another flip flopping panderer…

@Truth be told

Mary Norwood has not served Atlanta communities. She has pandered to and bought SOME neighborhood leadership, who can be as selfish as any politician.

Any INSIDER watching Norwood’s Beautiful restaurant video can spot many of Atlanta’s neighborhood “leaders”, Most of these people are good people, but some are power-hungry folks that are disgruntled that the city, county and any other gov’t entity doesn’t bend over backwards for every demand they make, no matter how far-fetched they may be.

I am a smart voter and will tell you that Mary WONT be our mayor. Not because she’s white, or a woman, but because she’s an ambulance chaser and reactor not a forward thinking or smart leader. Did I mention she’s a major panderer? She really doesn’t do well in the room with smart, independent people (white, black or other).

FINAL THOUGHT: For every disgruntled, so-called neighborhood leader, there are 20 smart Atlantans that will vote for the best and brightest candidate. This person will have a proven record and they will be smart enough not to promise the world to folks when they haven’t delivered on much of anything.

I am coming to know this person to be Kasim Reed. I was skeptical at first, but he has run a smart campaign and has stuck to the issues – all while challenging his opponents on substance.

Nice try Norwood, but voters are smarter than you (think).

I don’t know Lee, looks like Borders is yesterday’s news. To drop 7 points in a week is mystifying. Norwood is probably trying her best to figure how to stop Reed from overtaking her.

LISA BORDERS IS THE KEY TO OUR CITY GETTING BACK TO RESPECTABILTY AND RUNNING WELL. The other candidates re playing moke and mirror games with the uneducated voter who do not know their background. THIS IS A SEVERE WEAKNESS IN THIS CAMPAIGN SEASON. No candidate utilized their position to show some drastic weaknness in the other candidate. Weaknesses that the voting public, black and white, should know about. I am more than confident that the intellegent voters will let their voices be heard come November 3rd.

Reed and Borders’s supporters are pinning all their hopes on racial-bloc voting. You should realize that Mary has earned the votes of blacks and whites alike through years of hard constituent service work. That’s why more blacks support Mary than Reed and Borders combined, because they have done squat. Come election day, those voters are going to remember who did their job without regard to race, and vote without regard to race.

Atlanta truly is a city too busy to hate and Mary’s election will prove it.

To those who say Norwood is inarticulate, I challenge you to listen here and compare with Reed and Borders:

Mary Norwood wants no part of Kasim Reed in the runoff. Kasim will blow her away one on one.
