Zeke for Mayor: The Basics

Just to remind you, since Judge Polaha got rid of the residency requirement by ruling that Trent Baldwin’s “reasonable effort” was good enough to run in a District he didn’t live in, Zeke is gonna run for Mayor of Ely! What the hell.

Alright, First things first. To get started on my bid for Mayor in Ely, I gotta knock out the basics.

Which Party should I pick? Hmmm.

Let’s see: Ely Nevada is a VERY Conservative place.

Democrat is out. Forget it. No Freaking way.
Since I actually want to have a chance, I can’t be a Libertarian or Green Party. This ain’t Alaska or Vermont.
Republican is the Conventional Wisdom choice, but this IS a year of “Change” and the sitting Mayor IS a Republican. AND in a recent poll, 78% of Americans “Don’t Identify themselves as Republicans anymore”, so I think Republican may be on the outs. Even in Ely.
Yeah I am going “Non-Partisan”! That way I can say what ever the hell I want and avoid getting blamed for the current Welfare State or Facist State, as applicible. Non-Partisans can remain above the fray. Sounds like a easy way to win.

OK, well I am glad that is solved.

Now what, other than KILLIN’ ALL THE FREAKIN’ CHEAT GRASS(Like Mike Nance), should my platforms be? Hmmmmm. I’ll get back to ya on that. Need to do a little more research on what Ely voters ~~want to hear~~ stand for.
