(Political Blog)  8:30am Mondays is a tough time for me to watch a webcast, getting the kids ready for the day and me ready for work after a quick turnaround anchoring Sunday nights, but I am interested to see how mayoral candidate Tyler Allen's webcasts are going.

The e-mail to supporters:

In 2010, for the first time in a generation, the citizens of Louisville will have the opportunity to chart a new course for the city we love when we elect a new Mayor.

With the right leadership we can make our way through these hard times and create a better future for Louisville.  With the right leadership we can create the jobs of tomorrow and make essential investments in education, public safety, transportation and our neighborhoods. It is time for a new generation of leaders who will make the future of our city and well-being of all our citizens the highest priority.

Peace,

Tyler
