| Description: | View of Mercedes Cotner, Cleveland Mayoral candidate, on the campaign trail. She meets with local folks on the street. She shakes hands and passes out literature. Cotner runs into a young African-American man wearing a fisherman's type hat. Cotner shakes his hand and says "Vote for me". The man responds with a question in his voice, not really hearing what Cotner had said, "Vote for you". Cotner states that she is running for mayor. Man has a huge question mark in his response "For Mayor?" He is shocked that this little white haired lady is running for the mayor of Cleveland. Cotner responds back "For Mayor" (with a -yes that's what I said- in her voice). A cute little display of the generational gap. | |
