The Green Mouse makes the call: Kevin Zurschmiede will be the GOP's mayoral candidate.


True, the Green Mouse might be getting jerked around, but this makes three sources entirely independent of each other, and that's good enough for us.

The massage is clear, don't you think?

Zurschmiede declaring for the GOP gives New Albany one highly Republican candidate (David White, running as a Democrat), a somewhat less qualified Republican candidate (Zurschmiede), and a DemoDisneyDixiecrat (Jeff Gahan) -- meaning that everything to the left of Jon Huntsman belongs to the principled independent ... which is me.

I'm quite happy starting the campaign at precisely this point. In fact, irrespective of the results of the nominally Democratic primary, it looks like I'll be representing any Democrats whose beliefs precluded a vote for Mitt Romney in 2012 or John McCain in 2008, all local independents, and any remaining Greens and Libertarians seeking refuge from the prevailing rightward tack.

Groovy. I wonder if Bob Caesar will endorse a Republican?

If Gahan survives against David White, Zurschmiede will finish him off.
