That guy won some national championships.
He seems more plausible after recent events.

I’m leaning towards lost cause.

If no one worth a shite runs and I don't get a job out of state, I'll run. I'll even run as the Tiger Droppings candidate. I'll use OT slang in my campaign pitches, challenging opposing candidates to "meet me at Sonic" and attacking my opponents positions by saying I've heard better policy goals "walking through the quad".

Will my campaign make you say ye ye?

He really would be a great candidate. And SWB’s biggest threat to be unseated.

Probably an assload of local business owners.

Problem is the people with the intelligence and integrity to pull that off arent running for a shitty local political position. You need to be a washed up car salesmen to want to get into local government.

I’ve mentioned Tara in every thread like this since Buddy died. I genuinely can’t think of someone else who has a legit shot.

Someone like Eddie Rispone that knows EBR, knows business and knows how to lead.

You don't need. Santa Claus to hand out goodies, or a real politician except you have to politic to get elected.

Right now the mayor plays to her crowd and has no idea of how to be a good administrator.

Bodi White: 'If I didn't think I could fix it, I wouldn't be running'

Hopefully, we can plead with him to run again. AND, get our lazy asses out to vote. We got what we got because a lot of people are too fricking lazy to vote.It was a tough lesson - but maybe people learned something from it.

LeDuff would be great. BR needs an old school, no BS, no riff raff, get in your face discipline type.

3 upvotes, 47 downvotes, and FIVE PAGES of comments.

How does this make sense?

Please not Bodi White. There has to be another viable candidate.
