Soooo, got an unusual phone call today. It was a Vice-Chair of the county Democratic party, and they called me, out of the blue, to ask for to a lunch meeting to see if I would consider running for public office. I was chatting with a friend of my dad's, who happens to be on nthe Scott Co Democrat board, when I bumped into him at the supermarket last week, and as we shot the shit, I made a comment about how I have the personal philosophy that the people who make things happen in the world aren't the smartest or most talented, it's just the people who show up and try. Anyways, I guess he brought me up to these people, these political guys were talking about me, and they think I'm the kind of person who could be an ideal individual Democrats are looking to groom for the state legislature? I guess the senator in my district is pushing 70, and they are looking for people to potentially take over for him when he retires.
So I guess we'll see how it goes, but there is potential I could Gov Mod you proles IRL. Stay tuned...

And then they dig into your past and bring up the mentored teenagers, and you go burning to the ground.

So these guys have you pegged as not the smartest or most talented, but with little else to do, so you may show up? Seems legit.

Ghosto - a state legislator makes like $20k or some shit. You have to either have a farm or law practice on the side to pay you while you take that shit salary. That's why they get such colossal fucksticks as long-term legislators, you're gonna get shit people for that level of pay.

Isn't it enough that you ran Butthurt Former Member off and yet, you're still taking shots at him. Billy, if, like all good politicos, you need to blame someone else for BFM's demise, Tweetsie iz always available. It would be teh truth, anyways. |

Okay Ghosto, if you're serious about it, here is how mah buddy got elected to the legislature.
Step 1 - go to local bars
Step 2 - listen to every single god damned thing some moron has to say and agree, but in a non-committal way
Step 3 - pick three campaign points and only talk about those - I don't know what the issues of the day are in your neck of the woods, but my buddy honestly had 3 positions and he stuck to those every time he met people at bars - higher speed limits, keep the BAC for DUI at .10 and no helmet laws for motorcyclists - for other talking points liek abortion or guns, blame the Supreme Court and say you'll do what you can (while not committing to what exactly that is) but constantly blame the SCOTUS and say your hands are somewhat tied
I presume that the area you would want to represent is heavily Democrat, so all you have to do is win the primary and you'll win the general - no one votes in the primary so between family, friends, your church weirdos and the winos you meet at bars, you can prolly win the primary because almost no one shows up to vote in those - the winos are what will push you over the top because your competition will only have their family, friends and church weirdos in their corner - the winos are the swing voters.

There's only maybe a dozen lawyers serving in the Iowa legislature right now. I may be overstating the number. Remember, folks, this is the place where they make law. |
