What if you threw an endorsement party and nobody came?
At Knox's event this morning -- where his support of Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell was made public, as was Blackwell's support of Knox -- Knox was to endorse an odd set of City Council candidates.
But only three -- Vern Anastasio, Matt Ruben and Jannie herself -- showed up. And Vern and Matt wouldn't commit to a Blackwell presidency.
Now, many of the people on the Knox list are associated with other candidates, so that makes sense that they wouldn't show. But still, the whole thing is just weird.

Wow... what a circus. The Blackwell / Knox marriage will be the anchor that drags down Knox's campaign.

Cue ugly racial politics: I could imagine one campaign's supporters trying to play up the Knox-Blackwell tie in the Northeast in the same way that Melissa Brown tried to tie Allyson Schwartz to John Street in 2004.

I'm a little disappointed Vern and Matt showed up, but as long as they didn't make any deals or indicate support for Blackwell or Knox, then I guess an endorsement is an endorsement, even if it's from the devil himself.

Knox, Anastatio and Ruben are all frauds - perfect together.

Adam: And what about the media endorsements of Nutter? Could that be used in a really ugly, racially divisive way too?
Posted by Wendy | May 2, 2007 8:01 PM
Wendy, I'm not sure how you'd try to play that out racially. As part of a "not black enough" whisper campaign?
Posted by Anonymous | May 2, 2007 10:25 PM
Nutter is the most "republican" of the democratic candidates -he is not a reformer, since he is part of the same political process and circle of political people he wants to throw out.
Thankfully, he will not get the chance
