Want to get away?

“Dow you want to get away?”

These words have been repeated over and over ad nausea over the last few months as part of an airline commercial.

Yesterday these words might have been resonating loud and clear with both Thomas Reilly and Diane St. Fleur. I imagine that if they had the opportunity they would probably like to be getting on a plane and getting away from the scrutiny that one gets anytime you throw your proverbial hat into a political race.

Mr. Reilly must have been too busy thinking of the coup he just pulled off by killing two birds with one stone by selecting not only a woman but a woman of color to be his running mate for Lieutenant Governor. I ask you Mr. Reilly, “Do you want to get away?”

You were so blinded by your choice that you never heard the warning that Diane St. Fleur had some financial issues. The damage has been done even though Ms. St. Fleur has pulled herself out of the race. How does one rebound from such a poor decision?

Your campaign manager equates this to falling into a large pothole and that you’ll be ok, but I think you have fallen into a sink hole and will not come out.
