The Next Montgomery Mayor Will Be Chosen in One Week.

"Montgomery has a stark choice to make on October 7. We can choose a businessman, or we can choose a typical politician."

                                          From a David Woods campaign email.

     Plus a flyer delivered Monday took shots at Reed as "just another politician" who "spent over $20,000 on luxurious taxpayer funded trips...". (That would be trips to College of Probate Judges meetings)

     Unless I've missed it, I have not seen any attack ads from Wood's opponent, Steven Reed.

UPDATE!!! Reed's attack ads started on TV this afternoon:

     The elephant in the room is race. Reed will be the first black mayor of Montgomery if he wins on Tuesday. 
    If Woods wins, he'll be another in a very long line of white men to serve as Mayor, a line that started in 1838.
    Not that the race of a candidate's is the most important or only factor voters should consider. But the letter writers to The Advertiser who say race is not a factor must be ignoring city and state history.
