Marla Irving Fears a Competitive Race
Its no secret that Marla Irving was the most vocal person against the straw poll. Given that and the earliness of her billboard campaign and one has to ask the question "what's the deal?"
The deal is that Bill Brown is a credible candidate and Marla fears that her incumbancy is in jeopardy. She knows that a Democrat can't beat her. But a Republican candidate with a business background who is less confrontational makes her vulnerable.
If Bill wants to seriously challenge Marla he needs to get his campaign in gear. Thus far it has seemed tentative,unorganized, unprofessional, and under the direction of an ad agency. Brown needs to look at races such as the McGauley-Kennedy '03, Didier-Henry '03, or the Moses-Kelty '02 races to see how to run a competitive race. If he can't find somebody with the understanding of campaign strategy then his hopes are slim.
Some wise political guy once told me a good administrator doesn't neccessarily make a good candidate.

Bill Brown was at Statehouse in support of the Unigov for Allen County bill.
How was the City Clerk's race in 2003 competitive, pray tell?
Sandy Kenneday thumped the drum just like she has done for years.

Bill Brown lost many votes when Paul Moss introduced Brown at his announcement of running. It was a BIG MISTAKE !!!
Why was that a mistake?
Paul Moss is well-regarded.
A strong candidate against Marla will be hands-down winner. Her speaking methods and content give one the impression that the downward gaze at us peons from the billboards is exactly as the Queen has planned.May Bill Brown prove a worthy opponent.
