Demopublicans up 3 games to zero.

A long time ago I stop being amazed by the remarkable feats of logic people are willing to attempt in order to justify voting for a candidate who they simply can't stand, but KNOW that candidate is the only one with a possible chance of winning.

For the pooh poohers, I need to point out that I am not running for the President of the United States. I am running for the Guilford County Board of Commissioners in a district within about a 5 mile radius of my house. I am not going to be making decisions on military action, global trade policy, or Federal abortion laws. I am going to be making decisions on how to help a local government venture become more user friendly to the citizens it is supposed to serve on a daily basis.

In my district 7 race four years ago there were just over 23,000 votes cast. This year a reasonable estimate would be 27,000. In a tight 3 way race that means I only have to have reach just over 9000 voters to win.

The odds are not in my favor as a third party candidate, but how can anyone insist my ultimate victory is not possible having just watched the Boston Red Sox come back from 3 games to zilch against the New York Yankees on their way to winning the World Series.

We just need a few more sports fanatics to get to the polls. On my way now to see you there...

Believe!
