I must admit I never tire of Mary Souza's various theories re: the 2009 City Council election, as off-the-wall as most of them are. Jim Brannon & Starr Kelso are always the knights in shining armor. Mike Kennedy, Dan English, et al, are always the villians. In a recent comment at OpenCDA.com, Mary claims incredibly that Dan English discovered by, ahem, opening the absentee ballots early that Brannon and Dan Gookin were way ahead in last year's election -- and gave Kennedy a heads up to kick his campaign in gear. Mary tosses in some "maybes" to soften her loopy theory. Mary fails to mention that Brannon ran an abysmal campaign until the Reagan Republicans took him by the hand and started campaigning for him. Remember the no-show at McEuen Field & his lack of response to the media re: his firing from Habitat for Humanity. You can read Mary's latest comment re: 2009 election here (No. 3 comment) here.

• BTW, Judge Charles Hosack will hear Kelso's motion for a new trial at 2 p.m. today. There may be other motions considered, too.
  

Question: What do you make of Mary's latest theory?
