Mayor Palmer's sartorial pictorial in the September Esquire just hit the newsstands. Check out page 220. Since the copy is a little hard to read, I will transcribe it here for you:
Doug Palmer, 55 Fifth Term
TRENTON Pop. 85, 403
Greatest triumph: Changing the police department through a referendum. You take on the police - and I got rid of the fire chief, too - and they're bonded to kick your butt.
Best part: You know how they say you walk down the street and everybody stops to talk to you? Yeah, well, when they stop doing that is when you've got a problem.

AFTER MY THIRD TERM, I GOT EIGHTY SEVEN PERCENT OF THE VOTE, AND I REALIZED THAT THEY WEREN'T SAYING THAT THEY LOVED ME; THEY WERE SAYING, WE WANT TO GIVE YOU A MANDATE.
