Presidential Multi-Horse Race Heats Up In Wuxi China Expatdom

Presidency of the Wuxi China Expatdom's Congenial And Pensive Xihui
Park Stamp And Coin Collector's Club (WCECAPXPSACC) is once-again up for grabs.

Last night's Hopeful's Debate in the New District Primary,
was at-times heated, and packed more drama and twists and turns than
ever witnessed, said seasoned media commentators.

No party-affliations are permitted, however, some candidates,
unfettered by apparat-chics, are clearly unable to divorce themselves
from deep-seated Realpolitik sound-byte ideologies.
Candidate Frank "Pyjama Pants" Prostrami, for instance, is a
rusted-on Harpo-Marxist.

Neither Harry Moore, nor Andis (gunslinger) Kaulins, nor
Andis (English Teacher) Kaulins, nor Air Marshal Peck, nor Kennesaw "Hui Shan"
Landis, nor Officer McNulty, nor Admiral Bridges, nor CI Harry Callahan,
nor General Harl Sanders, nor Merkels, nor Heckylls, nor Jeckylls, nor
Abbott, nor Costello, nor Howdy-Doody, nor Spartacus, nor
Roy Rogers, nor his horse-trigger, - nor any other Expats with a reasonable
supply of oxygen to their brains, have nominated themselves for candidacy.

"How could we enter - we have no scandals to 'fess up to, and then crave
forgiveness for?!",
Harry Moore and Andis (ET) Kaulins jointly and severally
asked rhetorically.

During the evening's debate, the incumbent liberal-leaning President
J.Edgar Hoover wooed the audience with his singing skills, spontaneously launching into the hit song "Blame It On The Bossa-Nova!", prompting the pundits to
ask if he could tap-dance as well.

Appealing for the expat-Slavic vote, candidate Nick Spomenko
retorted by growling his way through Lee Marvin's heart-rending "I Was
Born Under A Wanderin' Croat".


In this horse-race, the lead keeps changing, and media-speculation
is that who is in front will not be known until next month's Primary in Lake Taihu.
