At Saturday night's Rivercats game I was in back of a seat where mayoral candidate Kevin Johnson came and sat with two people for several innings. I did not know the people he sat with, nor did I speak to Johnson except to say hello. But from almost 40 years experience with politicians and from watching how he engaged with these two people - I think he will make a great mayor. He listened well. He was low key. And as opposed to many politicians of the day he did not seem to want to impress anyone with who he is. Obviously, a great mayor requires a lot of skills - but on these impressionist personal qualities - I would vote for him. When you combine that with his record of public accomplishments - he seems like a great candidate.

i've run into kj in public, too, and got the same impression. you expect a guy like this to have a super ego, but he is remarkably engaging and comes across like another guy at the hardware store...who gets stared at by all the other people at the hardware store...i don't know how you stay so real in such an unreal situation.
