Embarrassing Candidate Bombshell
This town has had more than its share of embarrassing developments for campaigns.
In fact, we are almost known for how embarrassingly crappy the pool of candidates usually is in this town. We've had candidates that play dress-up (Jerome Tilghman), candidates that use props (Ben Mendoza), and a whole host of other embarrassing moments.
Like memmer the candidate that flashed people in the L&J and was on the most-wanted list...all in the same week?
We've had candidates that are likely mentally disturbed, candidates that take the bus to debates, candidates that wear chanclas, and candidates no one can understand...and I'm just talking about one particular candidate.
And then there's our local Republicans.
Not all of them, but most of them have been a motley crue of weirdos that don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning anything. But at least they pull out a decent one every now and them.
Most of the time, its harmless but makes El Paso look like its full of a bunch of idiots.
And then there are the times where the conduct of candidates, in my opinion, actually damage the image of the city. Their conduct is so bad, so embarrassing, and so ridiculous, that it actually hurts how we look as a community.
I'm speaking of course, of the race for HD 76, between then-candidate Naomi Gonzalez and then-State Rep Norma Chavez. That race was, in which the conduct of both candidates was, in my opinion, an embarrassment to this community. It was topped off by the single most embarrassing political moment, again in my opinion, that this community has ever seen in a campaign...The Lesbian Gay Woman remark.
So things range from wacky to downright embarrassing to this community in campaigns in this town.
Well, if my sources are correct, and I have no reason to doubt them, we are about to witness another.
I don't know who the candidate is yet, but sources indicate that some very embarrassing and graphic pictures of a local candidate have surfaced. It is very likely that those photos will be made public in some fashion.
That's very bad not only for the candidate, and of course their family, but for the community. Its the type of story that goes viral on the internet and will follow someone for a long time. Especially in the days of the internet, were someone, a friend, a potential employer, a family member, or even a child etc can do a simple Google search and then...bam!
Bad pictures show up on their screen.
I don't know who the candidate is yet, and I haven't personally seen the photos either. But my sources have and its a source that has NEVER been wrong before. In fact, I wouldn't be writing this piece if I doubted my source or the information.
Let's hope there isn't more to follow.
