What's Up With Bill Todd's Lifelines?

I have a problem with Bill Todd, the GOP candidate for Mayor of Columbus. It's not that he's a Republican. It's not that he holds different views from me. My problem with bighead Bill Todd is that I think he plays dirty.

Todd or his surrogates have repeatedly invoked Frankie Coleman's problems with alcohol for electoral gain. In fact, Todd's past few years have involved sleazy politics - from his time as counsel for the "Common Sense" organization that smeared Judge Resnick, to hi current activities. Todd's political director Eric Cameron Forbes even got caught requesting information regarding bars which had named drinks after the Coleman's (of course Eric claims he was only accessing the information for personal gain). The Todd campaigns repeatedly made trumped up, baseless charges for media. The Todd campaign has coordinated their dirty hits through the Republican blogs, even going so far as to use a blogger who earlier was a consultant to the campaign to make the most audacious charges, and to call Mrs. Coleman names relating to her problem. Finally, Todd's misled voters and been deceptive with campaign claims. BSB has issued a very serious promise to the campaign - shape up, or we'll drop an electoral surprise

Everyone likes a good gameshow, right? Borrowing a little bit from "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire," we've given Todd some lifelines. Because we're swell folks here we've been generous - we've given him four lifelines to start. Everytime we think he's deceptive, underhanded, or equally ridiculous, we're going to take a lifeline away.

If Bill Todd loses all of his lifelines, his campaign gets a surprise. Trust me Bill, it's not a surprise that will help the campaign. Shape up.

Game on.
