Voters who have settled on a Ward 6 candidate: Why are you supporting your chosen candidate?

[keithn.livejournal.com]

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.

My apologies to pywaket. My tablet browser leveled the hierarchy and I assumed wrongly the response was to me. I think my browser was stuck in 'egalitarian' mode.

My condemnation of the Chisholm campaign's ad hominem attacks on Lance Davis and his supporters still stands. In a city as diverse as Somerville where most people try to be civil about their differences, this type of politicking is very detrimental and should be a thing of the past.

Again, pywaket my apologies.

I agree fully. Lance, Liz, and David have all conducted intelligent and exemplary campaigns. I'd be happy to support any of these three in the November election.

Not a problem! I figured that's what had happened - LJ notifications have tripped me up more than once :-)

And I'm totally with you RE: the Chisholm campaign. His manager, at least, seems to be something of a drama queen.
