Review: Light story that's good for a quick chuckle.

An Election is a very short story that focuses on a human named David, his perhaps unwise decision to run for office in a predominantly alien district, and the hijinks that ensue.So far all I've read by Scalzi are a few short stories, all of comedic bent.  His writing style suits the material well and David's tale is enjoyable.  The characters and setting are well developed, almost too much so.  There are great details to everything that would seem to support a more substantial offering.  While good this was a little lacking for me personally.David's campaign escapades are amusing and certainly worth the current price ($0.99).  If you are more of a fan of comedic shorts than me you will likely enjoy it more.
