Bud Polhill - the Joe Fontana of Indecisive Political Aspirations
A slow news day at the London Free Press today.
Their website, www.lfpress.com contains this bulletin of BREAKING NEWS!!! Headline reads - Bud Polhill 'leaning toward' Ward Race. ... Still, he isn't ruling out the possiblilty that he may take a run at the Mayor's Chair in this fall's municipal election.
However, Bud will make his decision as to whether he is running for a city council 'ward' seat or the Mayor's big chair "within days."
"With a business to run and several grandchildren to chase, Polhill has indicated that the mayor's chair may not be a good fit for him," reports the London Free Press.
Well, that plus the fact that Bud doesn't have a hope in hell of being elected and defeating incumbant mayor Princess Anne-Marie.
And then there's the fact that the long-time councillor and Board of Controler obviously has big problems making a decision.
When the Free Press reported on December 30th of 2009 that Bud was considering a run for the Mayor's job, he told them that he hoped to make his decision after he had some polling done in January.
That was a minimum of six weeks ago. And this guy really thinks he has the decision-making capacity to be Mayor? Of even a small burg like Hicksville, Ohio?
Take your time with all that soul-searching, Bud. No one is expecting any real big *surprise* announcements "within days" - or within weeks for that matter.

Here's an idea, Sonny.
Perhaps Jim Chapman could run for mayor and if successful (Ha Ha Ha), he could hire Bud as his executive assistant.
That way Bud could at least get a sniff of the mayor's chair!
I think Jim will just declare himself Emperor of London, claiming that the 'silent majority' want him to rule, and by golly, he's just doing what the people want.
Never say those things, even in jest. The Free Press is trying hard enough to encourage Jim to run.
And he's vain enough, he might even fall for that trick. Nothing worse for a newspaper than yet another non-contest mayor's race.
