stevestojan Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I was just flipping through the channels and saw a preview for the 11:00 channel 7 news and they said "Jim Kelly to get into politics?" and that was it. Anyone hear anything about this? Sorry if its a repost. It's funny, but I'm pretty sure if Jimbo ran for any office in WNY, he would win by a landslide....

Frez Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 You bring up Jimbo and I was just thinking about what I heard awhile back. I heard he and his wife were on the outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Now the real question is... which Jim Kelly are we all referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 That's funny you mentioned that. He was at the George W. Bush speech in Rochester and my dad kept mentioning that he thinks he'll get into politics. Keep me posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 hope he doesn't run for anything i can vote for- it'll break my heart to have to vote against him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 hope he doesn't run for anything i can vote for- it'll break my heart to have to vote against him... 348511[/snapback] maybe he'll run for mayor of Buffalo or Erie County executive. Then you (or anyone with a brain) should have no problem voting for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can take the economy all the way to the brink of greatness. Then he'll get drunk the night before a big vote and end up fumbling all of WNY's money to New York, Washington, or Dallas.

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Given the way he ran his restautrsnt into the ground and stiffed a lot of small local vendors who provided food, washed the linen etc. I thought he was already in charge of the Erie County budget which is running way in the red.

Corp000085 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Yeah, he's got a lot of skeletons... Like, Night of the Living Dead skeletons. I think it would be in his best interests not to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Pockets Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 He's dumber than a fence post but I'VE HEARD OF HIM ! His qualifications include his QB skills from 10 years ago and his successful restaurant business. Oops, check that. DING ! LOST is on TiVo, gotta go ! Vote Jimbo !

DeeRay Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 This would be sad if true. I always looked at Jimbo as a straight shooter and honest guy. If he throws his hat into the political ring... well, let me put it this way... He doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of effecting any significant change... not in this state. So, his only other motive would be to get in on the "action".... and by that I mean "getting his piece of the pie"... the taxpayers $$$. Albany and NYC is a sesspool of worthless, corrupt politicians... and it sickens me to even think that Jimbo would want to get in bed with these bastards.

We should not cede political office to just the greedy and the corrupt. One change might not make much a difference but it would be a start.
