Fred Daugherty, a Republican, is the only candidate officially running for Nazareth mayor. So Karen Herbst, a Democrat married to Borough Councilman Jack Herbst, is waging a stealth write-in campaign on the Democratic side.Daugherty somehow got wind of this effort and is retaliating with his own write-in campaign on the Democratic side. He even has Mayor Earl Keller, a Democrat, speaking to voters as they walk up to vote. For some reason, Hizzoner just glared at me.
Other than leading the annual kazoo parade, Keller has been a do-nothing mayor in Nazareth. He is part of the cabal who unsuccessfully attempted to ruin a kid's park for a new municipal center. He has also unsuccessfully resisted efforts to improve Nazareth's police department. It has surged into the modern era with Chief Sinclair.
Knowing that Democrat Keller is backing Republican Daugherty, I gave Democrat Karen Herbst a write-in vote.
Is all this beginning to sound like incest?

I was trying to follow along with this post when I hit, the "annual kazoo parade?" What? When is that? Is that a Moravian thing?
Music is an important part of Nazareth's fabric. And who doesn't enjoy a parade?
I always wanted to play a kazoo but my parents couldn't afford to give me lessons.
Wasn't the great Kazoo the little space guy on the Flintstones and the Jetsons?
Maybe Joe Long could hire him instead of Severson as a consultant!
If Karen Herbst makes the fall ballot she will eat Dauugherty's lunch.
Where was she when people were circulating petitions to get on the ballot?
