The guy hasn&#8217;t entered the race, and has plainly stated that he won&#8217;t run. Which means this mayoral campaign isn&#8217;t run by Lee himself, but by fans attempting to pressure him into the mayor&#8217;s race. It&#8217;s a clear case of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theonion.com\/video\/man-becomes-gop-frontrunner-after-showing-no-inter,19678\/\">life imitating The Onion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for this campaign sign; the whimsical drawing is fun, the &#8220;Run Ed Run&#8221; slogan brings light to the fact Lee doesn&#8217;t want to run in the first place, but the URL? RuneDrun.org? Is that some kind of Gnostic thing or&#8230; oh. I get it. (Capitalization, folks &#8212; learn to use it properly.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s face it, Lee makes a better mayor than a politician. And that&#8217;s why we like him. So keep it up with the quirky, confusingly-capitalized campaign signs if you wish, but let&#8217;s not take Lee&#8217;s &#8220;campaign&#8221; too seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ed Lee for mayor campaign has to be one of the strangest campaigns in recent history.
