The latest would-be candidate shown here behind his mayoral-like seal during a meeting of supporters, Sunday, October 5, 2008, at the Rabbit Hash Museum (Rabbit Hash Mastodon Corridor News)The Possum's on again-off again campaign has stirred a lot of buzz with its latest innovation, a new seal that combines elements of the actual Presidential seal and the Possum's logo.
Some people are poking fun at the Possum folks for this. But if you want voters to imagine your candidate as mayor, what better way to do that than to have him appear behind a faux mayoral seal? And this is probably a good time to experiment with it. That way, if there's a voter backlash, the sense that Possum has gone too far, the campaign has time to toss the seal down a hole in the hope that it will have been forgotten by Election Day.
The Latin inscription "vero possumus" essentially means "Truly we're able" which is basically "Yes, we can," very similar to the Obama campaign slogan. When asked for comment, a spokesperson for the Obama campaign suggested they may have been premature in their support for Higgins and have placed a hold on the $100 check mailed to campaign manager Don Claire over the weekend. With an 8 point lead over McCain, Obama advisors feel they can afford to revisit this key decision despite the claims of flip-flopping that will surely follow a change.
