Ex-Democratic Senator Chris Romer's Fundraiser Hosted By Republican Josh Penry

Well, this pretty much establishes Romer

as the OFA/DNC/CorporatePols/ProgressNever candidate in the mayoral race.

The combination of acronyms is hilarity.

 Can we please have a little proof to back up our claims? Thank you!

It's more of a prediction

than a claim. Watch for "Pols" (aka ProgressNever) and its stable of resident alpha-trolls to steer and skew in favor of Romer, or at least to trash the other candidates with seemingly inexplicable fervor and mendacity.  If it doesn't happen that way, great. But past performance is usually a pretty good indicator of future behavior, and "Pols'" history is that of endeavoring to "clear the field" of progressives so corporate Dems can seize more power.

Darn. I was really hoping for more proof.

I wonder what the conversations are like over there in the upper eschelons. It's so fascinating to think about the strategizing amongst pols' sockpuppets and how their prevalence validates their multi-varied pseudo-nonymous perspective(s). And the way the others defend it is such a fascinating study in herd mentality!

It's hard to say.

All potential winners are Democrats. The most progressive one is only vaguely viable in comparison with the others so there's no reason to make enemies. A favorite won't be revealed until run-off but my bets are on Hancock since he's the most vile.

Romer is a tool.

He doesn't REALLY want to be mayor, he wants to be governor. Please let this legacy end already. We all know he isn't going to do anything except cut services and stack businesses. Fuck everyone!
