They should have just handed him a starter's pistol

Arnie Fielkow says 'no' to mayor's race

Fielkow's declaration Tuesday sets the stage for several fence-sitters to state their intentions.

Among those mulling the race who could be influenced by Fielkow's decision are state Rep. Karen Carter Peterson, the House speaker pro tem; former City Councilman Eddie Sapir, who left City Hall in 2006 after serving two terms in an at-large seat; lawyer Rob Couhig, who made a failed bid for mayor in 2006; and businessman John Georges, who ran for governor in 2007.

Meanwhile, Civil District Court Judge Nadine Ramsey resigned Friday, reinforcing speculation that surfaced a few weeks ago that she is about to announce plans to run.


The last comprehensive look at the Mayoral field was done by Eli here.

That article lists a few of the tongue-in-cheek celebrity candidacies but somehow omits the culinary ones.
