Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Me thinks the last of the gubernatorial candidates picked up their candidate packets from the election commission yesterday.....me also thinks that that team is gonna give the other three the biggest fight of their political lives, certainly the most expensive in the media because they're going to have to spend some really big bucks to reach more people to off set those thousands of grassroot voters that follow the 'sunshine' as those that followed pied piper....on a really, really, really hot afternoon, a throng of people followed Carl and BJ and waved and waved and waved to anyone who wanted to listen to how Carl and BJ would bring back a government for the people. Carl said on t.v. last night that things hadn't gotten better since he left office and that he'd leave the day to day operation of government to the former judge and senator to handle and he'd travel far and wide(my words, of course) to bring new money and new ideas to grow the economy.
Of course, one wouldn't really have to do this because with the Marines coming, the construction coming before them, there's plenty of moolah coming before them and the economy will come all on its own which should pull us out of stagnation-economically, the only thing needed is help for the water and power...which, if the DOD has anything to do with the move, will help with same....and we'll be sitting pretty.
But.....the wave and the humanity that followed the charismatic Carl yesterday said much about the coming election.....Mr. Gutierrez is going to be one tough candidate to beat. He's got the Filipino vote...and did you note the Tagalog blurb in the speech on the tube? I think the other three candidates better learn a few handy phrases and it better be more than the usual, 'salamat po', that ain't gonna be enough to get the foot in the door...or, keep it there!
The race for Adelup is on........and one team seems to be half way there and it ain't the one that's already there.......
