Will Chris Lewis Run For Public Office?

Chris Lewis has been well known for trying to get attention but many have ignored his temper and outlandish attempts to convince the Eastern Shore that the sky is actually falling.

One of the biggest issues many have openly mentioned with Chris is that every time he comes to an event he's been drinking quite heavily and it's easily recognized.

Mind you, we've had plenty of other local politicians who are well known for attending events, arriving pretty trashed and or having quite a few once they get there.

I don't know about you but I find it extremely hard to take anyone who drinks heavily, seriously. The next thing out of their mouths is, I'M DOING IT FOR MY CHILDREN!

I believe Chris made an attempt several years ago to run for local office but didn't get very far then either. Sorry Chris, while some may appreciate your attempts to save this country, most will not take you seriously and you're wasting money and votes.

Too many of these newcomers think just because they got a little attention at a Tea Party, their primed for public office. So much so, some are willing to put their names into the ring, even though they pretty much mimic experienced candidates that they actually like.

I don't know about you Folks but the Tea Party and AFP people, (with all due respect) have caused a major problem for good candidates already announced or filed and in my honest opinion have jumped into these races while they're still very young and inexperienced.

Mind you, it is their right to do so and I applaud that. However, is the AFP and Tea Party trying to tell us that the people currently running with experience aren't good enough? I mean, I'd really like to know where they stand.

Rather than working with the experienced candidates, (you know, the ones they INVITED to speak at all their meetings) my guess is that they have decided none of them are good enough and they can do better.

Again, I applaud their interest. I can appreciate their frustration but running out of the gate early and believing they can win, well, you'll clearly see what happens at the polls. Oh, one last thing. I thought the AFP was a bipartisan group that isn't supposed to recommend/encourage candidates?

All in all, my suggestion to the AFP was to sit down with the experienced candidates, (which they have not done) and discuss their platforms. IF the AFP does in fact have ANY power at this time, they can ask these candidates if they might be willing to look at a few items that they may not fully agree upon and perhaps change their thinking. If they're not satisfied, THEN they might want to consider running. However, that hasn't happened as I have interviewed some of the people considering running and like I said, they jumped out of the gate way too soon and simply assumed.

I hope they ALL reconsider and rethink their game plan, sober.
