Flaherty: Antiques have their place, just not in the mayor's office

Good. Better.

Seeming to acknowledge that a lot of those 300,000 Bostonians who've met Tom Menino actually like him, would-be replacement Michael Flaherty has come up with a new campaign theme:

Times change. You're probably not driving the same car you owned in 1993. Maybe you've changed jobs too. Upgraded your computer a few times. And you probably tackle problems differently than you did 16 years ago. Learned from experience. Trial and error, and all that. ...

Now, if Sam Yoon or Kevin McCrea wanted to be wise guys, they could finish Flaherty's slogan:

Good. Better. Best.

Please answer the following question, it's multiple choice.

"Flaherty for Mayor".
1) The better mayoral candidate, or
2) The best mayoral candidate?

Steven Colbert has done this during interviews asking war protesters if the Iraq War is a great war or the best war we've ever been involved in. Heh, their head spins when they're not given a fair set of answers.

I don't know if this is the best campaign idea I've seen or the worst, but they address the "best" issue on the website at least.

I like the new website overall but I just do not get the GOOD. BETTER. Slogan. I think it doesn't make sense at all and feel as though they need to change it back to the old slogan and something much more meaningful such as:

Working for One Boston, a Better Boston
Fighting for One Boston, a Better Boston
Fighting for One Boston, Working for a Better Boston
Working for One Boston, Fighting for a Better Boston
