"Undecided" leads the way in the Mayor's Race

Hey Kids,

Scott Henry over at Fresh Loaf has a neat piece running on an anomaly in the last round of polling for the Mayor's race here in Atlanta. It seems that the supporters of Undecided are flexing their muscles and building up some momentum for the vote next month. It might be time to start clicking the political ads of all the current candidates to add to the chaos and confusion!

Greetings All,

There is the third possibility that the polls are reflecting the mood and will of the respondents. As more voters pay attention to the myriad of candidates running for the post of “His/Her Honor” here in Atlanta there is perhaps a sudden and growing realization that there are damn few discernible differences among the horde. I suspect if the libertarian tradition of including “None of the Above” or NOTA on every ballot were applied to this race, NOTA would in fact win the contest.
