Mallahan for Mayor

Dear Honorable Candidates:

I know this idea will be met with some skepticism (and possibly scorn), but it is obvious that neither one of you has a clear mandate. My own family was torn on who to pick, so I would like to make a, shall we say, modest proposal.

Why not attempt to broker a power-sharing deal, whereby you would play to each other's strengths and balance each other out for the next year? Give us a year to show what you both can do, then have a special election in one year's time - time enough to let the public see how you both work. It is a suggestion that comes from far afield, I know, but it is a solution that could show that our Emerald City can come together to work towards the common good, using cooperation rather than coercion, friendship rather than fighting, one alliteration rather than another alliteration....

One year. One year to show the citizens of the city what y'all got, give us your best, your worst - show us what you can do together.

It's probably unheard of, unprecedented in American Society... but M-Squared for Co-mayor!

Thank you for your time.
