[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird she highlights having two toddlers is an resume talking point. All it tells me is she is going to be overburdened and sleep deprived for the next few years.[/quote]

Good point. Yeah not sure she's got time to be Mayor nor will she be making sound decisions from the lack of sleep. The meetings go on all night too so not sure how she has time for her kids during the day. At what part do you get sleep?[/quote]

She's running for Mayor of Alexandria, not for Your Approval Of Her Parenting. Also, her children have two parents, only one of whom is her.[/quote]

NP here. In Alexandria the mayor has no real power; it is a ceremonial job for ribbon cuttings, etc. It's basically just another city council member, which she already is. The Mayor kind of acts like the "face" of Alexandria, and attends a lot of public events, but no mater who the mayor is, the mayor isn't making policy or important city decisions, ever. That is the job of the city manager.

So your fake outrage is dumb. [/quote]
