Nancy Vaughan vs Diane Moffett vs Billy Jones (write-in)
Let's not beat around the bush here, Mrs. Vaughan is going to win a third term as mayor and will do so running away. She's already running away from the Rev. Moffett in the endorsements race. Conservative West Greensboro is not about to help out Black East Greensboro in dethroning the mayor--not especially when its own slate flamed out in the District 1 and at-large contests big time in addition to John Brown's poor showing in the mayoral contest.
That said, it doesn't mean that I'm going to support someone who is partially responsible for Greensboro still being the hungriest city in America. There's still no reason to support Moffett either because of the potential lawsuits headed the pastor's way if she pulls off the upset. If Moffett's victory is invalidated, then Yvonne Johnson (assuming that the chalk holds) will end up serving another term as mayor and yet another seat will have to be filled and it will go to yet another person with establishment connections.
So, I'm recommending that the creative community write in Billy Jones for mayor.
