Well, supporters of both sides are getting nasty which will only help the Democrat that ends up running. The best weapon the Democrats have against us is ourselves. This seat will remain in the hands of the Democrats simply because our pettiness will hand it to them like we did last November. Hey Wellington Republican, I did not see you had that name so I will use Wellington Republican Bill.

Eh, your remarks appear to be those of someone involved in the Merchant campaign. So is your strategy to attack Benacquisto for serving the people of Wellington as a councilwoman?

And your snide hint at skeletons demonstrates the nastiness has already begun.

Eh confirms Monroe Street’s assessment. Merchant has no record to run on so she’ll be attacking. Benacquisto has built a playground and she’s been dealing with all the other issues associated with a municipality of over 50,000 people along with regional issues such as storm water management and transportation. Merchant can’t even begin to match this, so she and her supporters such as eh are already beginning a nasty whisper campaign.

LB- a pretty face, she built a playground, but still a bunch of questions and skeletons… we’ll see….

Merchant and her advisors are going to crash and burn. They still can’t get over the loss to Pruitt. In their minds this campaign is against him and they will emerge victorious and they will be redeemed. Won’t happen.

Merchant will become recklessly negative, and because they had plenty of forewarning it will deplete the political capital of Kimberly Mitchell, Karen Marcus and others.
