Unlike the General Election last November, it is my understanding that Andree needs only 1 more vote than Dusty to stay in office. That certainly seems do-able at this time. Hopefully, assuming that this recall election is certified as legit by the County Recorder's Office, our wonderful Mr. Escapule will finally realize that the "good ol' boy network" isn't good enough for the citizenry of the City of Tombstone.

I have read that the election results will be challenged. This was printed in Dusty's own little weekly hate-mongering rag, which he started up just ahead of the recall election, The Tombstone News. As much as I have such complete and utter disdain for this publication, I find myself compelled to buy it, although I believe they should pay me to read it. I do have to admit, though, I enjoy finding the spelling and other grammatical errors contained in this compendium of the thoughts of Dusty and his ilk.

This is a direct quote from the "newspaper" that claims in rather large type that it is "honest and accurate reporting," which I suppose depends on whose version of the truth you may subscribe to, especially since I doubt that Mr. Escapule's "newspaper" has many subscribers.

At any rate, here's the quote, "WARNING! There WILL be challenges made of the early ballots!" I guess this is fair warning that even if Dusty loses this recall election, which it does appear that he will, he will still whine and cry until finally the door of the Mayor's office is slammed in his face - again, for the third time!

So, if things go the way they look like they're going to go, I guess we'll see Dusty next year running for Mayor of Tombstone again. It seems to me that if after serving two terms as mayor, he would like to be the permanent Mayor of Tombstone.

If that is the case, perhaps if he gets elected next year, he can have his "good ol' boy network" change the laws of the City of Tombstone, and simply appoint himself to the position of Mayor for Life.
