Best and worst local politicians?

Ross Catrow has created his own survey to discover what are the Bests and Worsts of Richmond at his blog, Haduken. Well, over the years at SLANT I've always liked the idea of running my own surveys, rather than taking the word of a Richmond Magazine, or a STYLE Weekly. So, I like what Ross is doing, but I wish he had asked at least a couple of questions about politics and politicians.

To help out, here are a couple from SLANTblog:

• During this year, who has been the most effective, and the least effective, local politician in the Richmond area (that would include the mayor, members of the city council and the counties' boards of supervisors, school board members, Commonwealth's Attorneys, etc.)?

• What is the issue/situation that you believe has been most mishandled over the eight months of 2007 that have passed?

If you want to play just put your answers in the comments section.

Then, to participate in the ongoing survey at Haduken, which seeks to reveal which restaurants serve the best hamburgers, what is the best neighborhood in which to live, what park you enjoy the most, and which blogs you like best, etc., click here.
