You Can Call Him Al
While Republican mayoral candidate Al Taubenberger’s website remains unchanged since May, he is starting to make some headway in the traditional campaigning front. The Daily News‘ Clout today reveals Taubenberger’s new campaign literature, which features a photo of Al Taubenberger looking like he just got out of bed to do some landscaping (one of his previous jobs) and the catchy slogan, “My name is Al.” He also uses his daughter, Sarah, in the lit. She just graduated from Central — what, Hubert’s was too good for her? — which means there is going to be a magnet school smackdown by the time election day rolls around. (Olivia Nutter goes to Masterman. Did Larry West go to GAMP or CAPA?) Anyway, kudos to Al for avoiding the “You can call me Al” slogan, if only because it lowers the chances we will have to hear that god-awful song during the campaign. His media advisor, Elliott Curson, says there probably won’t be any TV ads and that “[w]e’ll be doing stuff and we’re gonna have fun. I want people to say he’d be a decent mayor even if they don’t vote for him.” Whoo! This is the friendliest mayor’s race ever. Clout | So let’s give a warm Philly welcome to Al [Daily News] |
