I have to agree with you concerning Ms. Ginyard, however I do know that she had been recovering from an illness during the early part of the campaign. Maybe her performance reflected it. I still think that she will make an excellent council representative based on her political experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-22717600812198822272007-04-03T13:40:00.000-04:002007-04-03T13:40:00.000-04:00Thanks for posting this.

She brought alot of energy to her answers, and, probably would have brought alot of energy to that office. Too bad she was stricken from the ballot.<BR/><BR/>It semeed that all of the candidates have a commitment to the community through their individual experiences.<BR/><BR/>Of the remaining candidates in the race, Rev. Burgess came across the best. Eric Smith didnt seem quite ready for prime time. I couldnt help but to get the feeling that Mrs. Carroll wouldnt bring the fresh ideas and new energy that the district needs.<BR/><BR/>I think Leah Kirkland needs a bit more polishing, but she has a good future ahead of her.<BR/><BR/>I expected Mrs. Ginyard to come across better, because she has the political experience from the last time she ran against Mrs. Carlisle. However, at times, it seemed she was like a deer in the headlights.<BR/><BR/>This will be an interesting race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
