Raw energy

I will give Dr. Pellow credit for something.  He has energized people beyond anything I have ever seen before.  In the last election, many people voted to prevent a certain candidate from becoming mayor.  This time around, the feeling is far more intense.  I have spoken to many people that don't normally vote.  I never understood how people in Canada in 2010 could simply not vote, but there you have it.  I guess most of the time, they can't be bothered.  They assured me that this time they WILL go out and vote.  Why are they going to vote in this election?  Because for them, so very much is at stake this time.  I feel that we may even have a record turnout this time.  Dr. Pellow's goal of energizing the electorate has worked.  Personally, I doubt the result will be something he wants.  All of the people I have spoken to that are voting, that do not ususally vote, are doing so to keep him from the mayor's chair.  Some may be voting with their hearts, but most are voting with their brains (the thinking part).  Maybe I missed the fall fair encouters, but I never thought of Dr. Pellow as a CEO.  Maybe that's his new nickname from his campaign team?  We'll see in a little over a week if indeed people use their brains and vote to bring our beloved town into a new era of prosperity.
