and you've been involved in local politics for a while, and have a good idea of what you can contribute and what your vision is. Maybe you've even started to raise some money.

Because there aren't any evil enough to express my rage at the guy you describe.
Maybe he wouldn't be much of a male anymore after I get through with him!
