Thursday's editorial notes the opening of the filing periods in several area elections, and notes how different the political landscape is now compared to two years ago.
With two years' hindsight, an ironic
grin is tough to resist upon glancing back at the opening of The Sun
News' assessment in 2007 of that year's upcoming elections.
"Myrtle
Beach politics are quiet these days, and Mayor John Rhodes wants to
keep it that way," it read. Sure enough, three council members sailed
to re-election, with the most successful challenger's thousand-or-so
votes 400 shy of the closest incumbent.
Oh, what a difference two
years makes. Suffice it to say, few expect this election season to
bring, as the city spokesman assessed back then, a "fairly light
campaign."
