Almost.  Just check out this diary by Vault5151 and I'll tell you the tale of a total unknown who is now one of the most active and, not to mention, controversial figures on New Orleans' new and improved City Council.  Her name is Shelley Midura and you can learn about her here.  Or better yet, just "google" her up and you'll find that she doesn't exactly sit on her butt.

However, if you read my first link, you learned that WSDU, a local radio station in New Orleans was running a bogus, on-line poll, to determine which candidates would be the top two contenders for the seat on the Council.  Once the top two were decided, then they would get to spar it out in a debate over the radio.  

Don't be a chump. Follow along below the jump.
