DAY FOURTY: The Aldermanic Campaign Heats Up Yet Again In The Cold

DAY 40: the aldermanic campaign heats up yet again in the cold
Originally uploaded by displaced365.

As if there wasn't already enough animosity in the ward just to the north of mine between two candidates for city council who ran against each other two times ago (with the incumbant losing), now apparently there's someone with a love for eastern European symbology running as a write-in candidate.

I do have to give this third candidate credit as I haven't seen either of the two candidates on the ballot out in this weather. Apparently, according to his campaign flyer, he's the most important write-in candidate since the first Mayor Daley in 1936.

Though looking at the web site on the flier he handed out, www.estebanforalderman.com, he seems to not really have anything going on. Well except for some odd fashion sense among his campaign workers.

Plus, I probably wouldn't vote for him because they didn't like getting their photo taken. They told me, "hope you enjoyed the show," as I walked past to get to the train. For all they knew, I was going to plaster the photo on the front page of the Chicago Tribune. But, hey, to each their own election defeat.
