Is Barrett being coy?

I made this in Photoshop, but it looks real enough. Kind of like Barrett’s impending candidacy.

A good friend and vigilant political watchdog/snoop sent this message late yesterday to me, Michael Horne, Doug Hissom and Lisa Kaiser. See what you make of it.

This will be exciting news for the Facebook group supporting Barrett’s run and for viewers of the fansite “TomForGovernor.com.” Also for unnamed members of the “Obama camp” who are reported to support a Barrett gubernatorial candidacy. With Barbara Lawton officially out of the race, is the Democratic nod really Tom’s for the taking? Seems like it’s really about time for the mayor to call it one way or the other.
