News in Brief
Candidate Sherry Lipton "Not Sassy Enough"
by Eric Mills, Spawn of Katherine Mills
This year's mayoral race is really heating up, dividing voters this way and that. But one thing that everyone seems to agree on is that female Candidate Sherry Lipton severly lacks sass. Whereas the other candidates all seem to relish the opportunity to play dirty, fighting fire with fire if you will, Ms. Lipton has quietly mounted her campaign based on "platforms and real-life issues" according to her campaign brochure.
Says one Chesterfield Ridge resident, "I don't get it. Why doesn't she have a digging machine like that other guy? I'm not voting for him, but man is he cool."
In a society where image is everything, the citizens of Chesterfield Ridge demand a product as much as they do a candidate. Take Mayor Thomas Allenbach for example. It's no question that he has made a few campaign mistakes in his day, and there aren't many who would argue that he is by any means an ethical man, but he certainly knows how to produce what advertising executives call "a hook." It has been his series of hooks that have sustained him, not, as one would believe, his political savvy.
Yes, unless Ms. Lipton can up the ante on her opponents, we'll be seeing her in 2007 alright...in a house dress!
