It would seem that Jack Porter's name recognition and
history on council and public service have served him well, making it appear as if he is set to become the next mayor. Apparently Porter’s education never became an
issue; maybe the average man decided success won by hard work is a better indicator than Jeff's presumption that education equates to success. While several times Porter has fallen victim to foot in mouth syndrome most of his positions were vastly miscommunicated by himself. Needless to say he has taken steps to correct that. Porter cares deeply about Bisbee or wouldn’t have become involved to the extent he has. Few of the other candidates have shown that long term interest. Whetstone doesn’t have enough name recognition to win this time whereas to some extent Lindstrom suffered from too much recognition and recollection, but both have come away from this campaign with improved chances the next time around.
