Screaming shill, motorcycle salesman running for Mayor of San Diego.
http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050601/news_2m1shelby.html
<snip>
"Myke Shelby, a Harley-Davidson dealer and a leading advocate for keeping the cross at the veterans' memorial on Mount Soledad, announced his campaign for San Diego mayor yesterday with a blistering critique of politicians, union leaders and "radical" environmentalists."

<snip>
"His first act if elected: repealing the new "living wage" ordinance, which he called a "welfare program" and a "fraud."

"It's not a living wage; it's a killing wage that's choking the city," he said. "

This guy runs Harley commercials, screaming like a WWE wrestler, where he praises "Our President" and makes claims of the war "Protecting our freedom".
Please let Donna Frye win, again!

1. How many people running?
I heard that it was what 15, 20 people running? I don't remember. Anyone, would hopefully be better than the current mayor.

Most are not considered legitimate candidates though.

3. this numbnuts doesn't stand a chance..
living wage a welfare program?!! A killing wage that's choking the city!? I hate this piece of shit with a passion. His commercials run every week during the race on FUX, where he prattles on and on about how if CNN had been around during the Revolutionary War, we would all be speaking German.

FUCK YOU AND YOUR PONYTAIL, NY MYKE!!!!
