I am the only candidate you find in the street with the people partying. I look forward to this election and debating with the other candidates, who have all the money and power. Rarely do I run into anyone who gives a shit about the Sonics, whom I feel I have an almost unhealthy obsession with. Looking at their triumphs and tragedies from a psychological and intellectual point of view vindicates my guilty little pleasure immensely.
