I'm just curious from people who are not the candidates or linked closely to any of them - how did you reach your decision? I have personally found that for the issues I care about, I can't see much of a reason to vote for one candidate as opposed to any of the others. So I'll probably end up voting based on some other reason I haven't decided on yet. They all seem like good people.
I'm wondering as to what is driving other voters. I'm probably not a typical municipal election voter (as a young and relatively recent renting resident of 4 years) but I'm willing to bet some more people like me are here on DSLJ.

Date: 2015-09-15 06:59 pm (UTC)I am having a hard time seeing how Chisholm's experience as a one-term Alderman from 1975-1977 applies to current-day Somerville. Perhaps he's just trying to break Minnie Minoso's record and lose an election in six different decades (1968, 1969, 1973, 1977, 1989, 1991, 1993, 2007...) The guy's the Harold Stassen of Somerville. I admire (in a way) his determination, but...
