Topics include:
* It is now the last week of the campaign, and I am happy that we are coming to a close in this 2007 Mayoral campaign.
* Last Tuesday evening we had the final mayoral candidate forum at the Savannah Morning News auditorium, presented along with WSAV.
My opponents have nothing to run on, they only bring up issues that are irrelevant to governing the city of Savannah. I continue to talk about what we have already done and would like to continue to do, if you vote for Otis Johnson for mayor.
* Vote! Do not take anything for granted. We must avoid a run-off! We should not have to put up with this sort of campaigning any longer than is necessary.
Vote to insure a victory on November 6th. No run-off!
* There is a wide gap in the qualifications and philosophy of the candidates.
* Get Out the Vote Rally

Savannah Morning News: “Johnson for mayor”
October 31, 2007 by "the Otis Johnson blog"Today the Savannah Morning News has an article titled:
“Johnson for mayor”
Wednesday, October 31, 2007
(A link to the article is at the bottom of this post)
The subtitle sums it up:
Savannah voters should re-elect Otis Johnson.
[ "otis johnson blog" editors note: Vote! We must avoid a run off! ]
Below are some highlights from the article, (edited for brevity, see full article via the link at the bottom).
…
Under the administration of Mayor Otis Johnson, the council has taken a more hands-on approach to key issues such as crime, poverty, neighborhood blight and the delivery of city services.
… Mr. Johnson has since established himself as the council’s leader …
… we believe that Mr. Johnson has earned a second term. We encourage voters to support his candidacy on Nov. 6 in the six-way race for mayor.
…
Mr. Johnson has shown himself to be a man of his word.
Take crime … (see article)
Take neighborhoods and blight … (see article)
Take education, public infrastructure and jobs … (see article)
…
One of Mr. Johnson’s best attributes is his fearlessness. He’s not afraid to say something unpopular from his bully pulpit. However, he has shown he can work with anybody for the common good.
…
Savannah faces a lot of challenges over the next four years. So does this region, which is growing. We believe that Otis Johnson has the city moving in the right direction, and we encourage voters to give him a second term.
