Fewer things strike me as funny right now as this does. I mean, we just advertised a mayorial position -- subject to an election -- on MONSTER. Yes, that is how you know that you have fallen far. I'm a little concerned about these "concerned citizens with a passion for Cleveland." Let's say that you run for office - fully funded by them, as promised. Let's now stretch reality and say that you won. These "concerned citizens" are going to "help on a continuing basis." Does that mean that once mayor, you have to answer to them? That they are calling the shots, and you are just like the Queen of England, just a figurehead? That's of concern. If they are paying for your campaign, when do they collect and what is that collection? Just something for my friends, who are updating their resumes, to consider.

Not out of the ordinary. Nixon and Reagan were recruited by groups of people, just not in public like this. Ross Perot, Jesse Jackson, and Ralph Nader recruited themselves. Dan Rather recruited himself into an R.E.M. stage appearance, I guess.
