Lisa Borders is a fine public servant, but I was proud to vote for Norwood, and will do it again on December 1st! Go Mary!

Lisa Borders needs to scrap her election team and start from scratch next time….Her close working relationship with mayor Shirley Franklin did not help her chances at all.

I think it is funny she had the GOP backing with tools and money and she could not pull it off (norwood). I cannot tell you how many robo call I’ve gotten from her over the last couple of years. She even used Atlanta fire trucks cruising Buckhead with her campaign signs plastered all over them. Typical republican.

“OK mam it was explained a few weeks ago that you were not going to win and you still pressed on not only did you lose but you took votes that would have clearly gone to Reed. Thanks for nothing”

Perhaps she tired of having things ’splained to her by Philly transplants, resolved that it was a free country, and made a commitment to see the race through to whatever conclusion would be reached.

As for having taken votes from Reed–time will tell. Is that a backdoor way of saying that “you” have to stick together, uh, mam? As is often said, Delta has direct flights to Philthydelphia.

I think Lisa Borders ran a great campaign! I was shocked that she only pulled in 14% of the vote. She had my vote and I think she would’ve made a great mayor for Atlanta.

Can anyone imagine a more poorly run race by someone who could easily have been the next mayor of Atlanta? Her office and campaign staff have been the most inept folks imaginable.

It’s on now with Mary Norwood! Mary will do this and we will finally have the change this city desperately needs.
