Babies, pigeons and Elvis

| | Comments (1) |
Once upon a time, politicians shook hands and kissed babies to get votes. Today, they have to be more creative.

Mayor Don Kurth, for instance, has his own baby to kiss. He brought his newborn to a candidate forum last month, a savvy move considering his audience was a women's group.

"It was my turn to babysit," Kurth said.

Over the weekend, Paul Chabot, Kurth's opponent in the 63rd Assembly District race, had a "Shoot-off for Freedom" at Redlands Shooting Park. The event was an opportunity to exercise Second Amendment rights and to "blow the heck out of clay pigeons."

Later this afternoon at the Rancho Cucamonga Post Office, Chabot's campaign manager will impersonate Elvis and sing "Return to Sender." The performance is meant to encourage voters to return political mailers to the sender (or Kurth).

Just wondering, who is Paul's campaign manager and I guess i missed all the festivities. For your information, the city of Rancho Cucamonga is home to a world class Elvis impersonator by the name of Ron Stein. He has traveled the world and when you get the chance to see him live you will be amazed. If you need him, I quess just google him.
