Think of Me Tuesday

Most seasoned voters, wherever they cast their ballots, might recall a fabled local candidate who despite never winning continues to run and run and run. Year after year election after election in the same tattered tweed jacket undeterred by yet another embarrassing rejection. He’s the punchline for a running joke about a joker who keeps running…and losing. Jim ‘Buddy’ Chum is Fishtown, Massachusetts’ forever Mayoral candidate on his quixotic campaign for just one shot at the top office. He’s not against progress he just doesn’t want to be around when it gets here.
