So yes, we're coming down to voting day next week in the Kansas City, Missouri Mayoral race. As we well know, it's between Jolie Justus and Quinton Lucas.
I think it's widely believed it's anyone's race to call. It looks to be very close, a toss up, if you will.
I saw the two candidates this week in their final debate at the Kansas City Public Library on the Country Club Plaza.
Before this debate, I'd only read and heard about them both and I thought they seemed close on all the local topics.
After seeing the debate, I'm still convinced that's true.
Having said all that, I do think I can make a prediction on this race, crazy or brave, one or both, as that may be.
Having heard and seen the two candidates, I believe this race will come down to who, exactly, people think looks "Mayorly", like it or not, agree or not. And sure, I'll say up front even after my prediction, it could still go either way but I'm still willing to put this out there.
I think Quinton Lucas will be Kansas City, Missouri's next Mayor.
And it will be because a good deal of the voters think he more looks the role, again, like it or not.
Let the best person win.
We can't do any worse than the Funk.
God willing, we never will again.
