Web site pits Ebert against salty sandwich
Move over Mickey Mouse, Ham Sandwich is working on a write-in campaign.
Prince William area Republicans didn't offer a candidate for Commonwealth's Attorney this year, but that hasn't stopped a conservative write-in campaign for Hamilton "Ham" Sandwich, Esq.
...
Regarding the candidate's qualifications, one local expert - Mary Ann Kauchak, food columnist for the Potomac News and Manassas Journal Messenger - said that a decent ham sandwich should be "good and smoky."
"The Cuban sandwich is the hottest thing in the deli world, right now," Kauchak said. "I'm not really crazy about Virginia ham, though. You need a sweet biscuit to go with Virginia ham and a good pickle helps, too."
...
Sandwich's candidacy seems ridiculous to Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert, the Democratic incumbent who hasn't faced a challenger for 12 years. (...) "I guess I'll be in a position to devour my opponent," he said in a phone interview on Tuesday.
...
"People say they don't have a choice," Letiecq said. "Well you do, you have to mount a write-in campaign."
Sandwich won't criticize Ebert because he plans to sign a clean-campaign pledge, Letiecq said.
...
Letiecq is working now to organize a political action committee to begin raising money and holding campaign events according to Virginia's election laws.
...
"The purpose is to not just make a good showing, but to actually win this race," he said.
He hopes to have people standing in front of polls to teach voters how to cast write-in candidate votes on Election Day. He estimates that Sandwich would need thousands of write-in votes.
...
A loyal campaign supporter, Letiecq said he doesn't actually eat ham sandwiches.
"Because it's not a good idea for a campaign person to consume his candidate, I generally have turkey clubs."

HAM SANDWICH FOR PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY COMMONWEALTH'S ATTORNEY
Ping for Hamilton Sandwich, Esquire.
Hey, do we need a ping list? The candidacy is really taking off now.
You know you are onto something when the newspaper starts contributing to your stories that way. It’s one thing for some local bloggers to gin up interest, but it was nice to see the paper get into the spirit of things.
Ham Sandwich is for real. He’s going to take Ebert DOWN!!!
They should contact Townhall.com and see if they can get Mary Katherine Ham to make a campaign appearance.

Some prosecutor may have his chance now:

Once again, it is proven that there is no fiction stranger than truth.
Oddly, the fear of getting indicted by the current prosecuter is one of the reasons they can’t get a republican to run against him.
SOP for dinosaurs like Ebert, long term Democrat with a massive power base to protect.
But this Ham Sandwich can do the job just as well as Ebert.
damned illegals.
Do we have a chance to get the Jewish vote??
Sure. Ham is on Jewish Rye.
