2005 Municipal Election: Mayor

There are important choices facing Chattanooga voters in the 2005 municipal election. Chief (in a way) among these is the selection of the next Mayor. From all appearances one would think that there are three candidates in the race: Ann Coulter, Dan Johnson, and Ron Littlefield. As many as nine candidates qualified to run for the job. Who are the others? Who represents the people of Chattanooga in the right ways to lead the city for the next four years?

One publication that is attempting to find some answers is The Pulse. The current edition features candidates Angela Clark, Karl Epperson, and Eddie Eubanks, Jr. Check it out, as they are including all the candidates and not merely the "funded" ones. Each candidate answers the same short set of questions. It appears that a few more will be featured each week.

What are your comments on this race? Are party politics a big factor, a small factor, or a non-event in this ostensibly non-partisan election? Who has the inside scoop on the best polling? (Really, forget that last question. We all know that almost all polls are garbage. Wait. Strike the "almost.")
