This is the way it happens here. Instead of politicians announcing they will not run for re-election, they abruptly resign in the middle of the term, thus allowing the Democrat Central Party Committee and the Democrat Governor to pick their successors and put them in office as successors. Then they are already plugged into the money machine and can run as “incumbents” in the next election. Many of our “elected” representatives are in fact appointed.
Here's one delicious option.
Let's give Harry a brand new office ....in the Capitol's sub-basement, next to the furnace. Harry'll just love his brand-new cardboard desk (some assembly required).
Although I hear phone service isn't hooked up down there yet. Too bad. Harry can always use smoke signals (from the handy furnace) to communicate.
And give 'ol Harry a comfortable desk chair---complete w/ comfy head and foot rests.......and tell him not to worry about all those silly electrical switches lying around.
Harry's new chair....with our compliments.
