Derby Has the first official Mayoral Canidate

From the CT post

DERBY — First, he was in. Then, he was out. Now, it's official — Mel
Thompson is running for mayor. The political activist and registered Democrat
filed his candidacy form in City Hall on Tuesday. He also submitted forms
registering a political action committee — Friends of Mel Thompson — which lists
Al Zibluk, of Bethany, as treasurer. Thompson, 40, said he is running because of
a feeling that too many local political decisions are based on favors that have
resulted in appointments to boards, commissions and positions.

Does Mr Thompson have a chance of gaining the support of the Democrats in Derby?

Let me ask this, what would think of a high school football player who after 8 years of not playing walked onto the feild on game day with outdated eqipment and no training camp wanted to play. what would you think of him....you think he was nuts....
