Well, the first one out of the chute for the Salisbury City Council insofar as the Internet goes is, not surprisingly, the incumbent Gary Comegys. Challenger Terry Cohen is probably going to be second since she’s secured a URL, just hasn’t placed anything on that website yet.
I’ve added Gary’s link to the side, and the 2007 Salisbury race will be on top of the board since my bloglist comes up in alphabetical order. Obviously, if more people have websites I’d love to know about them. I truly don’t have a horse in the race since I can’t vote in this election. But I will say that I know a few of the candidates a little bit, since I spoke at some length to the aforementioned Mrs. Cohen at our last WCRC meeting and know Louise Smith from her service as one of my predecessors on the Republican Central Committee. I also covered Neil Bayne’s County Council efforts last summer, so I’ve spoken to him briefly a time or two.
Soon I would think that the candidate forums and such will get underway and hopefully I’ll be able to devote a bit of coverage to this race to join Debbie Campbell and Shanie Shields on Salisbury City Council. (Speaking of Debbie, she had a quite informative 20 minutes on the radio today.)
I’m going to expect that I’ll end up with 4 or 5 linked sites when all is said and done. My feeling is that each of the three eventual winners will get their votes in part due to having a website. With the blogs in Salisbury becoming home to much of the political discourse, an Internet presence is vital in my opinion.
I have other surprises and events coming up in the next few weeks on monoblogue, so stay tuned.
