My first post at RP 2010

I recently joined in RP2010: The Election Watchblog. It is the brainchild of Oliver "Blogie" Robillo, convenor of Mindanao Bloggers community. RP2010 is a collective work of bloggers that:

endeavors to be the poll watchdog for the Philippine Presidential Elections in the year 2010...

My first post there was about Davao City politics of course, arguing that, however faulty the logic seems to be for choosing Inday Sara, Davaoeños can still opt for her. That is, if one condition is met---the condition being if the mayoralty race would be a tossup between Inday Sara and Speaker Nograles.

Inday Sara: Not the best choice, but the only choice

If the 2010 mayoralty race will be a tossup between incumbent Vice Mayor Inday Sara and Speaker Prospero Nograles, I will go for Inday Sara.

In election, the rule of thumb is to choose the more experienced over the inexperienced. But it does not apply here. Voting for the inexperienced Inday Sara over the experienced Speaker Nograles may not be the best choice, but it is the only choice.

I've seen how the experienced Speaker Nograles leads the House. It's far from satisfactory. He flounders as a House Speaker, how else will he fare were he to lead this city?
