Mallory can't get enough of being mayor

Looks like it is official now. Mark Mallory will run for a second term as mayor in 2009.



Mallory is having a heavy-hitter fundraising event July 11 at the Westin downtown, with an impressive set of event hosts - Barbara Gould and Stan Chesley, who, between them, account for the bulk of the Democratic fundraising in these parts; and Hamilton County Coroner O'dell Owens, whom some believe would like his own shot at being mayor of Cincinnati some day.



Gov. Ted Strickland is expected to stop by to help the mayor sell some tickets.



A check for $125 - delivered to the mayor's mother, Fannie Mallory, his campaign treasurer - gets you in the door, but if you want to wear the title "Gold Sponsor," it will cost $500. Give the mayor an even grand and you can call yourself "Platinum Sponsor."



Don't give the mayor's campaign all of your money, though, because you will need some of it for the cash bar. Take all the hors d'oeuvres you want, though. They're free.

Sad. Truly sad. Because noone of substance will have the guts to take the no account on.

Typical Mallory move. Instead of helping Democratic Council candidates get elected this cycle, Mallory helps himself. Geez, it's a wonder why he doesn't enjoy the loyalty of his own Party.

Has Mallory attended any campaign kickoffs for any Democratic Council candidates? Has he met with any of the Democratic challengers to offer support? Lot's of luck geting their loyalty next year. And if a Dem challenges Mayor Mallory in the primary in 2009, he shouldn't be surprised when incumbent Democratic council members don't have his back.

BTW, Barbara Gould and Stan Chesley epitomize the flaws of the modern campaign finance system. They literally brought their influence.

What a F-ing joke. May we see a list of accomplishments to support a $125 event? I wonder why the Mayor seems to think his candidacy is worth this level of support. He's been such a let down.

Love the headline, Mallory can't get enough of being Mayor.

I've had enough of this individual NOT being a Mayor. Didn't vote for him the first time & I certainly won't vote for him the final time.
