Theresa Timberlake was at the meet ‘n’ greet on Tuesday evening. She has filed (as a Democrat) to run for the 1st district council seat currently occupied by Dan “Wizard of Westside” Coffey, who has yet to file, and was once overheard to remark that he would not run again as a Democrat. Presumably, and if true, this leaves open the intriguing possibility of Coffey joining silver tongued Dick Stewart as insurgent standard bearers of the Unreconstructed Minstrelsy Party (UMP), and campaign in … yeah, you guessed it.

But I digress. Again.

The question arose: Exactly how is it that a bad actor like Dan Coffey wins elections?

Please contribute your thoughts. Keep it clean, okay?

Thanks again to all attending on Tuesday.
