SEVEN weeks till da first round of da election. I think this is a somewhat correct rundown of the candidates from a "bloc" voting point of view.
ReplyDeletePerhaps ELEVEN candidates.
ONE gay woman.
ONE ponytail.
ONE cop.
TWO gay men.
TWO immigrants.
TWO Asian descent.
TWO black descent.
THREE Irish sounding names.
THREE lawyers.
THREE Jewish names.
FOUR women.
SEVEN men.
ELEVEN candidates may enter.
Only TWO will survive.
Prepare for an amusing SEVEN weeks boys and girls. Expect to see the campaign flyers piling up in your foyers and your walks through the neighborhood involving dodging candidates campaigning.
Which is marginally better than dodging bullets.
On to victory. Hurrah for us and to (insert location of choice here) to you.
To run a campaign is like running a business. It needs to be direct and effective without breaking the bank. I hope UU would allow candidates to express their views in this medium. It is greener for the environment too.
