A group of guys were standing outside of &#8220;Biggies&#8221; front door jawboning.  I approached and said:  &#8220;I know this is coming out of the blue guys, but I&#8217;m running for president of the country as an independent candidate&#8230;&#8221;  They asked some questions, including one guy wondering why I was running against Trump.  I talked for about five minutes and then passed out some signed campaign cards.  Another guy, who was drinking a beer, exclaimed:  &#8220;When you get to the White House I&#8217;m going there to have you sign this!&#8221;  I pointed out it was already signed.  &#8220;Then I&#8217;ll have you sign it again,&#8221; he smiled.  <strong>Note:<\/strong>  Notice the Biggies sign.  I can go &#8220;coast-to-coast&#8221; without ever leaving northern Ohio.  Now my wife has mentioned, more than once, that maybe I should get a campaign strategist &#8212; besides myself, that is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of my stumping strategy is: When I see a group, any group, of people gathered&#8230; And so it was the other Friday night along Old Rte. 30 in Cairo, Ohio, on the way to my kid&#8217;s away basketball game <span class=\"excerpt-dots\">&hellip;<\/span> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/?p=1849\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1849"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1851,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849\/revisions\/1851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voteforjoeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
