Salt Lake City's mayoral race- who's your daddy?

As you'll find out about me, I watch a lot of movies. Love 'em and don't make any excuses for it. I love the line in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" where Angelina Jolie is giving Brad Pitt a run for his money and says, "who's your daddy now?" I also saw this star wars poster that I have to have that has Darth Vadar menacingly reaching out with the quote, "who's your daddy"?



Well, I just can't get this mayoral race out of my mind lately. It's all I can think about (sad, huh?). It is coming down to the question, "who's your daddy"? Or, as the most recent polls by Dan Jones indicate, it may turn out to be, "who's your mommy"? This position is so vital to our community. When you look back at the last 8 years of the reign of Rocky you can see how important of a decision the SLC voters have come Sept 11th. I have definitely locked into who I know will be the best mayor for SLC. Several months ago I went through the long list of candidates and did my research on all of them and tried to meet each of them and/or see them in a public debate forum. Once I got to know them, it became clear to me that Keith Christensen (http://www.keithformayor.com/) was head and shoulders above the rest. This isn't saying that the other candidates are poor choices...Keith is just the better one.



Over the next while I am most likely going to address why I am backing Keith since I can't do it all on one posting, but I would love to have some comments from people who either agree, or especially from ones who disagree and why. I have heard that there are also many "undecideds" out there and would love to bend your "e-ars" for a moment or two as to why Keith makes the most sense for SLC. I am still way new to blogging and my blogs will most likely go unnoticed so I better learn some ways to "market" my blog if I am to get comments going on it.

The Gift of Gab

In the movie, "O Brother where art thou?" John Goodman (the bible selling, union flag saving, cyclops) tells George Clooney, "I can tell, that like me, you've been blessed with the gift of gab." Seeing how my wife often tells me that you can't shut me up when it comes to certain topics, I thought starting a blog would be a great way to jot down my ideas. I most likely have an opinion on everything and like to make it known. I have several ideas of what I want to write about but first I have to sit down and figure out the best way to post them all. So, for now...welcome.


P.S. more gabbing to come

P.S.S. do people really use P.S. anymore?

P.S.S.S. I don't even think you can use this last one, or maybe even the one above, but I like to make up words and rules as I go.
