Campaign Speech Freak-out for the Win

Words cannot even describe this, except to say it is Phil Davison, GOP candidate for Stark County Treasurer and he seems to be very very mad.

Check your notes

ms maddow and mr cooper had this on their respective shows last night. i don’t think i laughed so hard at a campaign speech ever.

that is beyond crazy. why would you trust him with the counties money?!

Because HE WILL NOT APOLOGIZE!!
and he has a DEGREE in COMUNICAAAAAAATION!!!

A degree in… COMMUNICAAAAATION!

I’m so proud of Ohio. So very proud.

Someone should check on the safety of Randy Gonzalez…

And that was in front of a presumably friendly audience. Get him in a debate, or a crowd with hecklers, and he’d pop a damn aneurism.

Also, the school that let someone like that earn a Masters in COMMUNICATION should be very ashamed of itself.

They are probably reviewing their records right now, saying “Oh, no we didn’t. We couldn’t have!”

What did he get shit on by a tea partier or something?

I think he COMMUNICATED very well. I saw that video and felt like he told me a lot. :smiley:

Once he made the “snapping” motion while saying “Now is the time to snap the Democratic stranglehold . . .,” I thought for certain he’d work in Joey Gladstone’s “Cut-It-Out” combination of hand movements.

Le sigh. Why do my politicians always disappoint me?

Never mind.

He drew his sword on “We will win . . . .”

I’m satisfied.

He got my vote.

A ***MASTERS ***degree in COMMUNICAAAAAATION!!!

Anyone thinking this guy is the exact polar opposite of Tim Calhoun?

He has PEOPLE SKILLS!

I’m confused. He’s been a councilor for 13 years (1 finger right hand, 3 fingers left hand), but the people of Stark County are going to see this level of excitement for only 8 weeks (5 fingers right hand, 3 fingers left hand)? Or do they get treated to this for a full 53 weeks to show how committed he is (even though he should just be plain committed)?

“Politics isn’t football! Politics is WINNER TAKE ALL!”

My feeling was that he was extremely nervous – he’s probably used to small-town politics, and he’s not at all comfortable mixing it with the big boys in Canton (the county seat of Stark County). So he’s overcompensating by being really aggressive – but it doesn’t work, of course.

knowledge is no longer power. it is now a weapon. just imagine this weapon in the vocal cords of mr. davison.

this video just doesn’t get old.

I thought he was more like Tim Calhoun coked out of his mind.

Man, I’m gonna have to change my ringtone once the Auto-Tune the News guys get a hold of this.

Awww shucks; by the end, and by the way he was looking at his right I was expecting him to be caught with a giant butterfly net and dragged off the stage.
