Since his 2010 inauguration, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has attracted local, state and national attention for doing many things well. Among other achievements, the Howard University graduate and ex-campaign manager for former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin hired 200 additional police officers and convinced Porsche to stay in the Atlanta metro area. In addition, Reed has proved to be a key advocate for the Obama administration and is looked to as a means of swinging votes in 2012.
