Let's Get Interactive

You spin through the comments section on this space, and you come to a few conclusions:

--Commenters are pretty disillusioned with all of Fitchburg government, particularly the mayor.
--They want something new and different.
--Faced with same-old, they're pretty turned off.

Many posters have talked about finding a mayor that hasn't been in politics before. Someone who is untainted by the general stain that all local politicians are touched with, for better or worse. It's a classic case of the the grass being greener on the other (untouched) side.

However, like in cards and life, we play the hand we're dealt. And there's plenty of room to say that the general public isn't so turned off (see Jay Cruz losing a council race to Annie DiMartino).

All this has led us down Curiosity Road, and we're thinking, "What are people thinking, based on the realistic options."

So, we're planning on putting together the most unscientific poll imaginable. In the next day or so, we're going to post 10 questions (or so), with multiple-choice answers. Our goal is to let it sit up for a week (or so), allow people to chime in, and compile results and analysis. Again, this will be completely unscientific, but hopefully interesting.
