Vote, Beer, Vote, Sausage

My friends over at frame d'art, a pithy little blog, were kind enough to post their snapshot of the latest gossip-inducer in Portland's political scene. Apparently, Anna Trevorrow, running for school board, had to take down all her signs after mispelling Tomorrow (that's right there's only one m in tomorrow). Now it's just Anna Trevorrow for a better Tomorrow. I feign ignorance on most of the local races. I do, however, admire the ingenuity of Diane Russell, running for state legislature and wisely doing the majority of her stumping from behind the counter at Colucci's. Go in to buy one of their famed sausages, or pick up a six-pack, and the always personable Russell is more than willing to ring up your essentials and discuss the state's budget constraints. Now that's service! Catch Russell most nights at 135 Congress St, and check out her public service creds here: http://www.new.facebook.com/pages/Diane-Russell/12610231275

I'll give Tina Smith credit for an eye-catching flyer, which I found on my doorstep (and on everybody else's doorstep) this past weekend. Election season's in full swing. This little girl loves debates. But I'll try to be well-informed on the local races before the elections. Looks like I'll have to increase my sausage and beer runs to Colucci's. It's a rough life in the little city.
