If you want to win get serious

John Floyd is looking for a campaign cartoonist. apply within. This appeal appeared on Facebook yesterday.

As we all know John Floyd will be announcing his candidacy for the position of Mayor of Port Hope on the 25th at a BBQ at his house on Madison St.. This perennial candidate has tried before and lost, this time he feels it will be a better chance. But in order to do better he has to lose his image of gad-about populist angry guy and get serious. This facebook appeal may have been in jest but the last thing a serious candidate needs is a cartoonist. Try a good copywriter instead perhaps even an image-maker too.

Mr. Floyd has to disavow any connection whatsoever with any Conservative party or any conservative anything for that matter.

The entire Ward 1 council, including Linda Thompson, is Big C Conservative. This may account for their lack of intellect, vision or ability to think even the smallest matter through.

Unfortunately, Mr. Floyd represents more of the same -if not worse. Anyone running for municipal office who denies a party affiliation is simply not telling all there is to tell.

That said, John Floyd is a cartoonists dream. He doesn't even need to be seen eating a banana or fumbling a football. His Hummer/Harley/Hair Shirt personna will do quite nicely.

Clean up his image?

Ben, do you know John Floyd?

He is an outstanding citizen, currently president of the Lions Club and was awarded this year by the municipality for volunteerism.

Sounds like a mayor I want.

Perhaps, you could apply for a job as his copywriter...
