Auntie Charo's Soapbox

One other senator passed away while he was a sitting senator, the man, nicknamed 'jeep' what reason I keep forgetting about. He was a very good man and a good senator but was wasn't Tony Unpingco,and even though they were related by marriage, didn't have his charisma, his tireless efforts too keep both sides talking to eachother, the constant need for Unpingco to keep unity. When Uncle Frank passed away, names were tossed in like crazy, but a young son, Frank Santos jr.(I think he's a junior) ran to finish his father's work. It would be unfair to say that young Frank was elected because of the sympathy people had for his dad. I'd like to think that he was elected(along with the sympathy) because he was a smart person and could easily complete his father's goals. I'm not sure how long Senator Frank Santos jr. stayed a senator, but it's possible that since Tony Unpingco was his uncle that he might toss in his hat to complete his uncle's goals.
After the rosary at the church this evening, people were already talking about who should run for the barely cold Unpingco. The republicans were talking about maybe Chris Duenas, Sam Sousa who ran the last election but lost and is now directing the Agana Library, there's Telo Taitagui who finished #16 but why would she want to leave her cushy job....possibility the governor's wife JoAnn.
The demos are talking probably BJ Cruz, Frank Aguon and Joe Mesa and the King of the Road, Carl T.C. Guiterrez.
The feelers are out everywhere, even at the office that's called " Home of the good guys"....a place which was named that by none other than Speaker Tony Unpingco while he worked there.
Rumor had it that the governor was talking to a former running mate to run for the office, after all, he's one of the good guys. Have to admit, Kaleo did a good job while he was a senator.
Whatever happens who ever is elected....if the Democrates remain in the majority they can undo all sorts of things which could affect the comming Marines...last I heard, they ain't too happy with the idea that there will be more military in their midst. I'm betting Uncle Fed and friends are watching the island with a very close eye.
I guess I'm a bit surprised that talk about who's going to run for his seat is a bit cold for a man just hasn't been dead more than 48 hours. No matter, who ever wins his seat will have one hell of a time filling his shoes and that khaki Member's Only jacket.
Tony you will be missed....no matter who is elected. I miss you already.
