Another good young blogger candidate out

I learned this morning with great sadness that Girl in Right dropped out of her run for City Council in Golden Colorado. Her explanation is here. It is a real shame that people cannot openly disagree and debate without running down the spiral of behind the back gossip and hate mail.

I did some leg work for candidates in a local election a couple of years ago. While there was spirited debate and less than pleasant editorials I saw or heard no signs of anything like these. The candidates attacked each other's records and positions and to a lesser degree motivations. That is good for democracy. What happened to babs isn't.
