First election predictions
It's that time of year when I start making political predictions.
I already have a good idea of how most of the Monroe city council races will turn out, but I need to wait a few more days for things to settle out a bit in a couple of races.
Yeah, I've already got the mayor's race nailed down, but there are some council spots that are tough to figure.
I mean I'm confident I could score 75 percent right now, but if you've followed this blog for a while, you know I shoot for 90 percent, but usually hit 82 to 86 percent.
There's just a whole batch of candidates, which means a lot of dark horses and spoilers, so I'll hold off for a few days.
Just to give you a taste of my accuracy, however, I'll predict Beneteau and McGhee for council and Evans for clerk.

Observer,
I don’t know if I’d predict those slots yet.
I heard Mickey Mouse has a strong write in campaign going against Brian.
One thing that has been annoying me personally is the vague nature of some of the campaign literature.
For example, I am for good quality of life for the citizens of Monroe. I am for public safety. I am for balancing the budget. I am for a high level of service. I like puppy dogs.
Man – doesn’t anyone have the ambition to give me something concrete to bite down on? I am for paving the streets of Monroe with gold, but it isn’t going to happen. It would be nice if someone in his or her campaign literature would give some concrete stance or show an inkling of understanding of what is going on.
Roundybout.
