Orange Cat Bad Campaign Meowmentum, Contenders Multiply Like Feral Cats.

Wannabes jump in for Special Election by Mass Meeting, usual suspects maneuver to disenfranchise distant counties!

Catty Commentary on the Commerce of Crafting Campaigns

The competition to fill John McGuire’s empty seat increases daily. OCB faces Duane Adams, Amanda Chase, Jean Gannon, Shayne Snavely, Luther Ciphers, Bryan Hamlet, and possibly another- Alex Cheatum? Except for the first three names, the results of facing OCB in a primary for the rest of the slate will be catastrophic. In fact, several little birdies have told OCB that several of these people are in the race to draw votes from certain leading contenders.

All these contenders have strengths and weaknesses, as is easily demonstrated by how most of them copy OCB’s campaign platform talking points and his mailer format almost word for word!

The platform:

On religion, OCB is a Catolick! Please don’t laugh; this is a tough stance because he is Orange. Most Orange cats are Protestant Preshissterians! It is a mark of character he doesn’t follow the crowd like all the other… well, kitties.

In military service, he commanded Fort Catidel (above) and unleashed hell on the dogs of war. He also has a good and up-to-date record with Vets.

OCB is a family man, litterally.

He is a supreme hunter and eats fresh game regularly.

He is a bid’ness man and employs several people to staff his household and stool manufacturing business. All the other candidates will claim these same pros- but they are just copycats.

These attributes make him the purrfect choice to go after Democ-rats in the State Senate! He understands the sanctity of marriage and family, serving his fellow felines, putting fresh unprocessed organic food on the table!
He has plenty of wit, is quick on his feet, and has a quick read of his opponents.

He is a loyal Party animal and has committed not to ‘paw’ in his name should he not win. Nobody likes a sore loser and people who are disloyal to the Party and attempt to bend it to their ambitions.

It's good that smart ass has nine lives, as there are already seven other candidates!

Next, OCB hires a CONsultant to shore up his campaign. I will also examine the other candidates and their backgrounds, especially those who won’t be eliminated in the first round of the Mass Meeting. It’s quite a field of critters.

Long Shot or Cheat’em?

We will revisit Democrat Duane’s record in Louisa, Chase’s checkered hisstory including the problem of endorsing an independent, which would get you and me tossed out of the party, Jean Gannon’s many contributions, former Chase bodyguard Shayne Snavely’s background, wonders of Cifer, and Hamlet’s decision to become a senator before any political office.

Also, I’ll comment on the behind-the-scenes wrangling to exploit the time and place of the Mass Meeting, which is expected to fall between Dec 12-14. Certain of the top tier want it as far away from the rest of the District as possible to preclude delegates from traveling, and with this many candidates, the convention could go past midnight. If you are from Buckingham or Appomatox, you’d have to get a hotel room if the mass meeting ends in Hanover, as a particular Chair is pitching or maybe Louisa or Goochland.

You can guess who.

DEVELOPING: Is RPV so neutered it tolerates an abusive two-tiered rules system that punishes the grassroots for not supporting the Republican ticket while reinstatement Chairs and committee members who refused to pledge support this November’s Republican Ticket, including Donald Trump, Hung Cao, and John McGuire?

Five & Dime VA/HCC is an opinion blog. I employ satire, commentary, and fact to entertain and convey my opinions on religious, cultural, and political issues.

CORRECTION: Hamlet has/is served as a county supervisor in Cumberland County.
