Mayor Weirdo?

Monday night, after turning in the 25th chapter in the Furry book, I decided to sit down and watch some tv (something I don't do very often anymore). Baltimore has its mayoral elections coming up (on September 11th, I believe), and Monday night MPT happened to be airing the Democratic Debate (I don't even know if there is a Republican running...I don't get it). The debate seemed more like a Saturday Night Live sketch rather than a political event.
I think there were about 7 or 8 candidates. Right off the bat, one of them decides to withdraw his bid for mayor to "throw all of his support and resources" into another candidate. The moderate then asks him to leave, but the man protested...he couldn't understand why...so, the moderate explained to him that being he had just withdrawn from the race, he was no longer important to the debate.
All but 2 of the mayoral hopefuls totally sucked; the other 2 just kinda sucked. One of the guys, standing in the last position stage left, kept garnering my attention; not because of his convincing extemporaneous musings, but because of his sheer strangeness.
He looked awkward; the bottom half of his jaw looked like the Good Lord had forgotten to include some clay when He was sculpting his face. He had unnatural looking, dyed brownish-black hair and a really bad comb-over.
He said the strangest things...he talked about having been a businessman in Mt. Vernon for many years, and something about having the "white vote." What does that even mean? Even if he did, only like 20% of Baltimore is white anyway...
Then it dawned on me: he was that guy who showed us the lame, rundown, busted up apartment in Mt. Vernon! That placed sucked! I couldn't believe that that guy was running for mayor! Who does he think he is, a movie star or an ex-wrestler?
The best part of the debate was at the end when each candidate had an opportunity to say some closing words. Michael, the weirdo, closed the event. He mumbled something incoherently strange and then held up a sign that had a link to his website (ala Wayne's World)...one problem: he didn't hold the sign high enough! The credits displaying his name covered the piece of paper!
