Super Dell Gets a Mulligan
Super Dell Schanze, the colorful and controversial former owner of Totally Awesome Computers, went into the Salt Lake County Clerk's
Office today and withdrew his candidacy for Salt Lake County Mayor, just three days after he filed for the office on Friday.

The reason: He told the clerk's personnel that he is running for governor instead and when he went to file at the Lieutenant Governor's Office, he was told he could not file for two offices at the same time.

So, Salt Lake County might be losing a mayoral candidate, but just think, the voters of Utah are gaining a gubernatorial candidate.

Cheers,
Paul Rolly

Wow, Dell Schanze is certainly an act. Notice I didn't say, "class act." The governor's limo isn't supercharged like his jaguar. I am sure children's rights and safety will be high on his agenda. After all, he never once apologized to the families and children whose lives he put at risk when he drove recklessly though their neighborhood.
Yes, the media and the justice system missed the real tragedy of his gun slinging incident. It wasn't the gun. It was 12 - 15 children playing in their supposed safe neighborhood who were the real victims.
I hope I speak for most of Utah when I say, "Dell we don't want you to go away mad, we just want you to go AWAY!"
