On Valentine's Day, Macon City Council President Anita Ponder will be announcing her candidacy for Mayor of Macon. The email I received tonight was headlined with the logo, "Ponder the Possibilities." I understand that there will some significant star-power at the event, including Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin.
First, a disclaimer. I have not yet, and do not intend to take sides in the Mayor's race. I do not live in the City, and do not get to vote in the race. I have several friends who are running simply wish all of them well. That said, I think that Ponder has a good shot at becoming Macon's next mayor. I know all the issues. None of the candidates are perfect. I think that there will be a runoff in the democratic primary, and if she makes it to the runoff, given the demographics of the City, I think that she just might take the whole thing. It will be interesting to watch this one as just an observer.

I'm not from Macon but I am glad that a women is running. I bet she would make a sensible, pragmatic mayor.
You can enjoy the pics of cousin Anita throwing her hat in the ring a little later but in the notsomeantime enjoy the roofs over Macon pics after Anita's over the rainbow hat toss.
