We had an election, now what? R. Neal at TennViews has updated the site's database of legislative and congressional candidates now that the primaries are over. He also linked to a good analytical column on the General Assembly races by Tom Humphrey. The next two-and-a-half months will be lots of fun, at least in a few districts.
John Edwards: Taegan Goddard, alice, and others cast their declaratory statements on the affair, whether or not it is any of our business, and what it means. My own reaction was not one of surprise. I had no specific inclination toward believing that Edwards would cheat on his wife and then lie about it; I just have always regarded his words as plastic props in a big show. Admittedly, such is merely my perception.
In the city: Mike Feely, a minister who runs a nonprofit organization that caters to the needs of area Hispanic residents, and who also served briefly as an interim City Council member following Marti Rutherford's resignation, is being hired by the Council to work with both Hispanic and homeless populations. I'll try to research the impetus of this contract, just so readers are the most informed. But I see it as a good move, all things considered.
