The question is, 'Will it make a difference?'

Wow! This says a lot, especially after how hard Borders and Reed went at one another. It's no small wonder why Norwood can't get any of her colleagues to endorse her. She's incompetent and has not earned their respect.

I'm not one to base my vote on endorsements, but Reed has had some very impressive votes of confidence as of late: Lisa Borders, Jim Martin, etc. The best Mary could do was Ralph "Wet Behind the Ears" Long and Able Mable, who just happened to show up on her last financial disclosure. I never did trust that Mable character. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2009/11/02/able-mable-pockets-1500-from-norwood/

Interesting how the alledged pro-gay candidate supports the least pro-gay candidate. Go Mary!

Frankly, it's time for a white person to run this city again! The so-called black leadership of Atlanta has taken all of us to hell in a bucket of chicken.

@MidtownMike Do your homework - Reed has proposed and supported more pro-gay legislation than Mary can even read. From hate crime bills to fighting the amendment that would've banned gay marriage, Reed has stood up for us time and time again. Mary has only pandered.

@Buckhead Ralph I'm surprised more hasn't been made of Able Mable showing up on Mary Norwood's financial disclosure...not to mention the whole Glenn Thomas fiasco. I heard she's been doing her best to buy off the poorer black community...I guess her disclosure proves it.

Oh my gosh, really?! Black candidate supports the Black candidate? You don't say? Did you really think they would let the Maynard Jackson machine die quietly?
