Two days ago, businessman Jack Reed trounced Doyce Deas in the Tupelo, MS mayoral election. The only thing I know about Jack Reed is that his family's retail store sits at the corner of Main St. and Spring St., where it has been for over one hundred years. The only thing I know about Doyce Deas (and this is from her radio commercials and robo-calls), is that she worked hard to stop the spread of private academies in favor of government (i.e. public) schools. I don't remember any of Jack Reed's commercials, but maybe that's because he simply copied Deas' and ran it as well, because can you think of any better way to tell a voter NOT to vote for you than that you will work hard to limit his options--his freedom--once you got into office?
