I am supporting Ms. Brady because I cannot stand Larry Glass. Where I call into question your judgment Richard is the fact that you stood next to Nick Bravo during the kickoff event. Wow. Way to have Ms. Brady's back. You may have been the only blogger at that event, who had any idea that this guy will eventually ruin her campaign. Way to look out for your candidate.
