Ineligible Mayoral Candidate Angry Press Isn't Giving Him Shot

051807larrywest.jpg
Larry West, the mohawked 22-year-old candidate for mayor who is technically ineligible to run, is positioning himself for his independent mayoral candidacy now that the Democratic primary is over.

But he's also lambasting the press for not giving himself, Republican candidate Al Taubenberger and the ghost of Joseph S. Clark enough of a shot.

You can only imagine how aggravating it is to wake up and see people declaring Nutter "Mayor-Elect"; that, despite the fact the actual mayoral election isn't for another 6 months. All the local media outlets began to join in the chorus, Fox News calling him just that, and all the other stations reminding viewers that Philadelphian's have not elected a non-Democrat in over 50 years. But trust me when I say this, I intend on changing that.

I don't know, Larry. I don't know if I can come up with enough agitprop to make Edward R. Murrow cringe to help you in your campaign. We'll see, though.

Never say never! [Larry West for Mayor Blog]
