I don't know what possessed the headline writers but they sure didn't offer any encouragement to the chosen ones by calling the aggregate group, "uninspiring".
That was an unfortunate (and unfair) comment and I think it reflects a troubling disconnect between the editorial decisionmakers from civic life and the community. I'd like to see the editorial folks out cold-calling their non-voting neighbors to engage them in a dialogue on issues, or asking their friends for one last contribution to keep a campaign solvent. The mere fact that these and the other candidates are willing to put themselves forward makes them all winners.
