Driggs Takes A Few Digs
Just in time for the start of early voting, Ed Driggs hits the airwaves with an ad spot on WBT 1110-AM. I can’t recall the last time any candidate challenging incumbent District 6 Commissioner Bill James ran a credible campaign in a Republican primary, much less actually dumped money into radio ads. Win or lose, Driggs has at least proven an exception on that front. Here’s a taste of what Driggs in selling via his campaign’s newly released spot:
The guy hits all the right notes; then again so does Celine Dion, but that doesn’t mean I want her wailing on my speakers.
Driggs’ video is a bit over the top in laying blame for District 6 woes at James’ doorstep, and it could easily be argued the southern suburbs would be in a whole lot worse shape without a pitbull politician like James sticking up for them in the face of an aggressively liberal board majority.
What it boils down to for District 6 voters is actually pretty simple: Can you take a chance that somebody who has never sat behind the dais will actually walk the talk he’s been delivering on the campaign trail, having never faced down a hostile crowd demanding more funding for the children or been dragged through the media and roundly ridiculed for sticking up for conservative principles?
Or if you think Driggs will fold like an uptown lunch bunch napkin at the first hint of public criticism, are you up for another two years of James’ often distracting antics and inflammatory rhetoric in exchange for a predictable conservative vote on the board despite any slings and arrows it brings?
