A friend of mine gave me your e-mail. He thought you might appreciate this story.
This weekend I stopped at the Dominicks on Howard to pick up a few things. I live in the 50th, but have been watching the election in 49 as it's so interesting. So I was standing there with a cart perusing the ad paper to see if what I needed was on sale, and a gal who was trying to get signatures for Gordon (I declined because I'm not in the ward) approaches someone else. I look up and see that she has just approached Joe Moore! Well she launches into this whole thing about how evil Moore is and how Gordon is the answer for all the ward's problems. She introduced herself as Anne Reardon and says that she's newly back in the ward after being gone a while.
Joe is just having fun and declines to sign but walks away laughing.
Well, I didn't think much of it, just the usual election year chuckles--a volunteer so clueless they don't even know what the incumbent even looks like. But then my buddy call me this afternoon and says, "What was that chick's name that was talking to Moore at Dominick's?" Well, he was online and found that Gordon has a new campaign manager: Anne Reardon!
Can you imagine being dumb enough to hire someone who doesn't even know what the Alderman looks like to run your campaign?
Hot damn. I gotta move into the 49th. This shit is interesting!

Hilarious!
How could somebody delete comments from somebody else's blog?
Don't you know tht Joe "photoshops" about 40 pounds off his official 49th ward portrait? It's perfectly understable that would be hard to recognize "Jumbo Joe" when meeting him in person.
