I've seen and heard Fred present issues over the last few years, so I know his performance wasn't indicative of his capability. The NoMerger folk have Fred's <a href="http://nomerger.org/BOCCCandidateSurvey2006.htm" rel="nofollow">survey</a> answers.

On two occasions where I have had the opportunity to listen to Mr. Battle discuss the issues he has seemed anything but well prepared or well-versed. Granted, I have not had the opportunity to work with him over the decades. Perhaps this just goes to show how important the debates and face-to-faces are in local elections.
