Buskirk vs Bloom Should be Interesting

Roy Buskirk stands a chance against Linda Bloom. Tracy Warner said in last Sunday's paper that "he will have difficulty running a campaign as professional and comprehensive as Bloom's."

While Roy is challenged by the task at beating Bloom, he does have a few strengths to his campaign that Tracy failed to mention.

Roy isn't starting a new campaign. This is just a continuation of his campaign from last year. He has been in front of voters more recently than Bloom.

He was also the most popular out of all the at-large candidates beating the next highest by more than 5000 votes.

In an off-year election, turnout outside of Fort Wayne doesn't drop off as much as it does within Fort Wayne. Roy runs better than most other candidates including Linda in the county.


Do I think Roy will win? Stranger things have happened (Pat Love).
