Dismissing someone as a nobody based on a factual but demeaning one-line description should be a much bigger crime. It is an ugly oversimplification that attempts to discredit the subject and thus manipulate voting. - Ted Mitchell

Exactly! It is not the media's place to decide who is and is not a viable candidate in an election… that's the job of voters.

Why is Mr. Butani a "fringe candidate"?

Is it his Columbia University education?

His genuine and passionate desire to make the city a better place?

His track record of civic involvement?

His experience finding investors for downtown?

Or does he simply not fit Mr. Dreschel's "mold" of what a Hamilton Mayor should be?

Mr. Dreschel needs to quit playing the victim and explain why he said what he did if he wants any sympathy from me. Otherwise I am inclined to believe Mr. Butani's accusation.
