Ebert Panicks, The MJM Stretches
It seems as if Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul Ebert is desperately in need of some support. The Manassas Journal-Messenger actually endorsed incumbent Paul Ebert in an editorial that appeared in today’s edition, several weeks before the filing deadline expired for independent candidates and those nominated by political parties expires. Is this an attempt to scare off other potential candidates for the Commonwealth’s Attorney race, now that Paul Ebert appears vulnerable to a challenge from Ham Sandwich? That’s what it looks like.
From today’s editorial page:
This year, he has a little competition from a tasty afternoon meal. A ham sandwich wants to unseat the incumbent.
Hamilton “Ham” Sandwich, Esq. is hoping his write-in campaign will successfully install him as purveyor of justice in the county.
As we said, we don’t normally endorse anybody for Commonwealth’s Attorney, but seeing as there is actually some competition, we thought we would weigh in.
Mr. Ebert, you have our support — not only because you have been a successful Commonwealth’s Attorney, but also because you have a good sense of humor in the face of a challenge from a lunch meat and two slices of bread.
Paul Ebert hasn’t had an opponent in 12 years. The minute a candidate pops up that cannot be threatened, out comes the Journal-Messenger to backfill Ebert’s moribund campaign. If they can’t even wait until the filing deadline for candidates has passed, you know someone out there is panicking.
As well they should. Ham is getting a lot of attention from across the country, and people are contacting the campaign to find out how they can support Ham Sandwich. Ham’s website continues to see explosive traffic growth, and recording artists in Nashville completed writing the music for Ham’s campaign theme song yesterday. Not only does Ham have the only campaign website in this race so far, but he has a theme song that will set this election on fire.
Ham is going to win this election, and change Prince William County politics forever.
