[quote=takoma]I don't think I'm the best spokesman for Muriel.  I first met Jeff during the special election that put her in Fenty's open Council seat.  We were both unhappy with the way Fenty anointed her, and I, for one, preferred several other candidates.  So I was certainly primed to see the faults in her handling of the job.

However, once in, she impressed me with her knowledge of the issues, her public demeanor, her near immediate reaction to postings on local listservs, her energy in supporting local groups on issues of importance to them, her willingness to engage with people she knew were not supporters, and, last but not least, a staff that also displays the above qualities.

I still wish she had a different stance on development, and especially on developers' campaign contributions, but overall, as I said in another posting, I would call myself a green-teamer nowadays.

I have no problem if you don't support her because of the issues or her legislative record.  I just don't see why it's necessary to attack her personally.[/quote]
