Everyone Lining Up To Run Against Fumo

012908docbrady.jpg
A.J. at Phillymag reported last night Johnny Doc is considering a run for Vince Fumo's State Senate seat. With (bi hottie) Anne Dicker already running alpaca cartoons and related fun anti-Fumo ads and multiple posts on Young Philly Politics saying some people you've never heard of should run, it could be a crowded race come primary time. Will Larry West throw his hat into the ring?

Daulerio's source sums it up this way: If Fumo wins the primary, he could drop out after it and essentially handpick his successor. Johnny Doc could swoop in and take the senate seat from the 30-year vet and then he could have all the alpacas he wanted. If only it was Pennsylvania and not New Jersey where alpaca farming is booming, maybe everyone could get along and vacuum up alpaca hair in peace.

Also: Dammit, I missed Larry West's auction for a signed print of a drawing of Pamela Anderson!

Update: It's confirmed! And here's his hilarious quote! "My family’s been living in this area for 100 years. At one time, I had 11 aunts and uncles in one house, that same house I raised my daughter."

Great, so we have a nag and a crook hoping to take over for the other crook.

Why doesn't Milton Street throw his hat in the ring, just to make sure that we have every unappealing facet of humanity covered in this race?

Point of Reference:

Just because she's bi doesn't mean she's a hottie.

What the? A write-up? Nice!

I'm actually am re-listing the Pamela Anderson piece since I still have a few prints left.

Running against Fumo? I can't, I don't live in his district. Thanks, though, for the link and promo!
