I can't actually say I have ever seen Joe knock a door in the seven years that I have lived in the third ward. He hasn't been as far as I know up at the farmer's market, which is less than three blocks away from his house, at all this year. I did see Paul Ostrow on Saturday up at the market. That's how communities happen, informal gatherings where people can talk. This was the last one of the year, not even an appearance by Joe B. to make it look good before the election.Yes this is what democracy looks like in the third ward. Apathetic and lifeless. Some politicians can't mingle, they're not very popular and in fact they probably couldn't defend their voting record. So when do we get a chance to talk with them. At least some politicians understand they have to come out of the bunkers every four years to make it look real. I would listen to Joe's arguments for his voting record, I don't believe we get anywhere by shuting our ears to our opponents.
