Herald attacking Maurice before he even decides!

The Herald must be very worried by the thought of Maurice winning, to devote an editorial to trying to scare him off. They say:

The policies and planks of Mayor Len Brown should be subjected to the challenge of a worthy rival in October. Only then will the advancement and assessment of alternative ideas, part of the fabric of a healthy democracy, take place. Unfortunately, such an opponent has not emerged. It is not , the Party candidate for East at the last general election, who announced his bid yesterday. Nor is it the 's long-standing Pakuranga MP, Maurice Williamson, who is considering . In both cases, these are the wrong men wishing to be the mayor for the wrong reason.

I guess we know who the Herald is backing.
