Excerpt:
Posturing aside, a look at fundraising shows that none of the candidates have done well in the area any challenger would need to beat an entrenched incumbent like Barry: raising money. Financial reports released this week show that with two months left before the election, none of Barry’s challengers have much cash.
Patterson managed only to raise $4,353 despite telling LL that he’d been in talks with some of Barry’s long-time donors. Williams’ haul so far isn’t much better at $4,758. Seegars has raised only $1,340. Gaston raised a respectable $22,000 during the last reporting period but says his fundraising has slowed down during the last couple of months. (Neither Gaston or Barry had their most current reports available online by LL’s deadline.
That kind of weak financing suggests that the race for second is still wide open. But for now, it looks like only Barry can decide when that Barry-free future for Ward 8 comes to pass.

I got that Barry leaflet a couple of months ago but not mailings from others. I haven't seen anyone out a metro. Nothing on my door. No yard signs. Seegars doesn't have a website. No one else has useful info on their website. So really at this point based on the facts I would have to vote for Barry . I would never do that but if I can't see where you stand or what your platform is then ....
Although my support for Barry has dwindled, He is out in the community good, bad and/or indifferent. Alot of people criticize him and the "new residents" scream for a change, but they do not do the necessary work to unseat him. Barry isn't the problem it is the apathy of those who want him out.
