Streetalk: How can a mayoral candidate get your vote?

Cait: A Bocce tournament. It takes skill, determination and certainly an amount of humility that most people just don’t have. I’m not interested in politics. Just another face with the same story. I’d like to see a politician play Bocce. I actually challenged a candidate to play Bocce and to talk and have a beer and throw some balls around. Whoever the candidate is, it would show they were a person like myself who is struggling with a lot of issues but approaching the problems with patience, much like tossing a Bocce ball.
Byron: I got to meet the mayor of Atlanta, the woman with the gray hair, and it was like, who are you? I didn’t even know she existed. I’m from St. Louis, and Mayor [Francis] Slay made it a point of interest for his citizens to know who he was, even though he was a Republican. I don’t think politicians in Atlanta have any interest in, like, “Who are you?” So how would you get my vote? Make yourself relevant to me. I’m the voter here. I’ve been a resident of Atlanta for two and half years and am completely ignored.
Chase: If they can suck my dick and lick my balls at the same time, then maybe, yeah. I can’t even phantom, or whatever the vocabulary word is for it, contemplate, a mayor. I don’t care, really. Honestly. I’ve voted every time for myself. I sign my name in there every time, dog. My name is Chase Hill. I vote for myself, and I get other people to vote for me, too. I was voted the best looking in high school. I should be president or mayor or whatever we’re talking about. I’m a champion, dude.

Is there any point to this (other than humor, I suppose)? It would be one thing to ask random residents who seem to care or be engaged. But these responses seem to reflect the fact that all too much glue is sniffed in LFP.

I’m not sure, but I think Chase just propositioned the entire male population of Atlanta in return for our write-in votes. I don’t normally swing that way, but the guy is a champion, after all.

Scott,
It looks like you sipped a little too much of your wine cooler before you posted your response. The correct abbreviation is L5P.

LFP = Loopy Findley Plaza

Look at the pic of Chase. He wears two handcuff keys around his neck. Last person I heard of that did that killed three police officers. Dirtbag.

Bravo. Ignore the complete idiocy displayed by two of the people quoted so that you can take a swipe at the guy for using the wrong abbreviation.
Classic.
