In a time where we are con­stantly get­ting bar­raged by polit­i­cal mes­sages about pres­i­den­tial can­di­dates, it is refresh­ing to receive a pack­age from a can­di­date run­ning for a less lofty posi­tion.  In this case, it is Har­vey Dent run­ning for Dis­trict Attor­ney of Gotham.  I am not entirely sure that I live in the cor­rect juris­dic­tion to be vot­ing for elected offi­cials in Gotham (and hey, does any­one even know where Gotham is???), but that doesn’t seem to pre­vent him (or, at least, his Dent­mo­bile) from com­ing to Port­land on the 21st.

I am not entirely sure whether or not I believe in Har­vey Dent (I still haven’t had time to eval­u­ate his stand on all of the issues I care about), but it seems that Har­vey Dent believes in me enough to send cam­paign infor­ma­tion and swag.

Notes on the above pho­tos: Mr. Dent (is he related to Arthur?) cared enough to spring for FedEx Sat­ur­day deliv­ery.  The win­dow clings are really cool, but if I can pro­vide some con­struc­tive crit­i­cism, the clingy part should be on the front (with the image and text), not the back.  That way, you can put it in your win­dow with­out wor­ry­ing about it get­ting weath­ered or stolen–unless you want it to get stolen, to help virally spread the word–and if that’s the case, I think that’s a pretty poor stance for a DA to be taking.

Over­all, color me impressed!  Being the DA of Gotham has got to be a hard job.  There are lots of crim­i­nals out there (includ­ing funny and sar­cas­tic ones), and while a cer­tain caped dude who dresses as a fly­ing mam­mal can bring them TO jus­tice, some­one needs to enforce that jus­tice, and I guess Har­vey Dent wants to be that man.
