Policy wonk Paul Goldman is a dark horse according to Sarvay 

At Buttermilk & Molasses its publisher, John Sarvay, looks at the now wide open Richmond mayoral contest. His post, “Richmond’s Next Mayor: Six Candidates Walk Into A Bar…”, comments on six announced or likely candidates — Donnie “Dirtwoman” Corker, Paul Goldman, Robert Grey, Dwight Jones, Bill Pantele, Lawrence Williams — and their prospects.

Of course there’s no telling who else might decide to run, now that Mayor Doug Wilder has announced he will not be on the ballot. After the petitions are handed in and the signatures on them verified by the City Registrar, anybody want to venture a guess at how many of those six will end up on the ballot?

If attorney Robert Grey decides to run, Sarvay sees him as the candidate to beat. I have to agree with that call. Anybody got a hunch at who else might throw their hat into the ring?
