"Mihos was the last gubernatorial candidate to speak. After giving
his wife, Andrea, a peck on the check, he strode to the microphone and
promised to be brief by saying, 'My wife says I'm awful fast, so I'll
try to stick to that.' The joke prompted groans from many of the 400
people in attendance.
"Moments later, Mihos noted that he had been
married for 31 years; he joked that he married his wife when she was 5
years old. ''That will get me points tonight, too,' he said to awkward
silence.
"After the event, Mihos was asked by reporters about his
wife having told him in the past that she didn't want him to run for
public office.
"'She made a deal,'Mihos said. ''She said, "You
can do whatever you want as long as I can have a new wardrobe." It's
going to cost me more to fund her wardrobe than it is to fund my
campaign, I think.'
Hmm.
This should be interesting.
