Carty is making the rounds, attending events ,etc,. that make it appear as though he is laying the groundwork for a run for the Mayor's Office again.
Is this is plan?
If so, what chance of success do you give him?
What say you?

Fat children , dogs , the Marines , and the deaf all weep at this possibility.
And that's not even mentioning the King Kong comment about our then-fire chief, now current mayor...

"Carty is making the rounds, attending events ,etc, ..."
What rounds and what events? No links. No photos. No specifics. Some news source must have a mention of Carty "making the rounds."
Does Carty currently have a TV show or radio show or a column in a newspaper like he did between his 2nd and 3rd terms as mayor? He used the media to stay close to the public and transition to a 3rd run as mayor. By December 2004, many Toledoans wanted Carty to run for mayor again because they thought Carty v3.0 was better than Ford.
And Carty could have run for mayor in 2009, but he didn't because, allegedly, he told his wife in December 2004 that if he got elected mayor again in November 2005, he would not run in 2009. If he didn't run in 2009, why would he run in 2013? I believe he chose not to run in 2009 because he knew he couldn't win, and he didn't want a mayoral election "loss" on his record. I think he would have less chance of winning in 2013. Carty will be 74-years-old in 2013.
All the Toledoans who attended the GAF this past weekend must be planning to run for mayor of Toledo in 2013.
Maybe Carty is planning to move to his beloved Perrysburg and run for mayor there.
Probably cause hes hoping people will have forgoten most of his foot in mouth comments from the past. Toledo does have a short memory about politicians its seems. They did elect him 3 times after all.

What does that comment have to do with Carty running for mayor?
Now, it is true that I am part of a suburban cabal that hopes to draft Carty into running for a soon-to-be-created government position called Super-Mayor of Toledo County.
shamrock44, why don't you answer your questions that started this thread?
Maybe we can get Traficant for mayor. Send Cart for Governor and Opal for President, she will save us all.

If he's breathing I think he'll run. It's in his DNA!

Carty can replace Biden as VP and no one would even notice.

Sure we would. For starters, we'd hear about EVERYTHING out of Czarty's mouth vs. only a quarter of what comes out of Biden's, and Faux News would just love the idea of making deaf people live next to airports rather than impose anti-noise regulations. When they weren't after him for being a Democrat, that is.

Toledo is not the only place with a short memory.Look at how many times Ted Kennedy got re-elected.

Har har hurr durr derp derp TED KENNEDY RE-ELECTED hahah herp derp.
You elected Chimpy McFlightsuit again for the first time in 2004. You know, the guy who had birthday cake with McCain and later played guitar in California while Katrina hit and drowned New Orleans. Then Chimpy went back to his ranch to clear more brush and finish his vacation before flying over N.O. in AF1. But Fox News got a snipe in at Obama about being on vacation as Irene was approaching... never mind Obama was in the path on Martha's Vineyard (as well as heading back to D.C. before it hit.

I admit to HOPING Obama would be a CHANGE, but the man has all the spine of an amoeba. Too bad for you that he's a better Republican than the entire TeaOP candidate field, with the possible exception of Huntsman.

Great...
So, Cedar Creek's next commercial will state "Rule 78: we like people who vote for Carty."

It is a shame he had to cut his vacation short.I was hoping he would have taken a permanent vacation.When he was out playing golf my 401k started to rebound.Now he is back running his mouth and the stock market is going down the crapper.
