"What has Micah Kellner done besides suck up to powerful people?"
I know Micah pretty well, although I'm not a political junkie or even a Democrat. Micah's been sincere and energetic about getting to know the area he's running to represent. Yes he has worked for a bunch of pols, but a guy's gotta eat ... he is a community activist by inclination and experience. I never heard him talk about his own career ambitions until this elective opportunity arose.
So, he has a solid grounding in the district's concerns and has worn out mucho shoe leather there, and his opponent can't match these credentials.
If I were not a friend of Micah, Ms. Chamlin would still have lost me when I read her campaign bio, which is cleverly written to mislead the reader into thinking she's some sort of hero of the Mississippi civil rights movement and held the dying Goodman (an old college carpool buddy!) in her arms. This level of chutzpah in resume inflation really makes me gag.
