Critique
This is the current national Democratic Party ad critiquing John McCain.
People can debate the statistics, but overall the November election is about whether more American voters feel better about Iraq and the economy than they did four or eight years ago.
Will change continue to be the operative national political mood?
Interestingly, at the local level in Chico, the case for change needs to be made to thwart the re-election bids of Mayor Andy Holcombe and Vice-Mayor Ann Schwab.
Hard to make this case when Councilor Larry Wahl is also likely running for re-election.
Wahl has been the most vocal "dissenting" vote on many key issues over the past few years, but he's been primarily a lone vote.
Even Councilor Steve Bertagna, who is likely not running for re-election, has been voting with a 6-1 majority lately on some key issues related to development (Meriam Park) and development impact fees.
But as anyone paying attention to this City Council knows, there are a lot of differences among Councilors who people think would be ideological similar.
Today's Scrabble word is nom, or name.
