The Chattanooga mayoral election of 2009 has officially begun (with correction)
A prospective candidate has hired a polling firm (I didn't quite catch its name; something like "OCI" or "OCR") to do some seemingly pretty good research on how things shape up for a run at the city's top job.
I took the poll last evening, and I answered every question honestly. (My answers are confidential, but I'll share some of the questions/statements to which the poll sought a reaction.)
In addition, a web domain name has been registered, though there is no page up yet. (I won't link to the parking lot, due to popups and junk like that.)
The same name as is in the domain was among those listed in the poll for a favorable/unfavorable rating. Interestingly, this was the only** name in the list that does not belong to an elected official (other names included Bob Corker, Andy Berke, Warren Mackey, Linda Bennett, and Jim Coppinger).
**UPDATE: I remembered later that David Eichenthal was one of the names asked about, and he is not an elected official.
It's (update: still) fairly clear, then, who is "testing the waters." Stay tuned for more as it becomes available.
