Glad to see it! I'm surprised the nutjobs haven't come out of the woodwork and flooded this page with racist nonsense yet.
Authentic people like Jorge Cornell who actually dedicate their time to bettering Greensboro should be the ones we elect, not unaccountable lawyers and developers who live so far from downtown. Cornell is truly one of the people.
All comments are welcome, but I'm glad to see a progressive voice chime in here for once. Far too often, I believe, progressives in Greensboro cede the battlefield to conservatives in the blogosphere and media discourse.
I personally am going to vote for him, and I think he has a pretty good shot of winning!
If I didn't vote in St. Louis, I'd vote for him too.
