I always thought it would be sophisticated to use the word “quixotic” on NEPArtisan, and low and behold, Judy Gatelli has provided us an opportunity.

While none of the current Scranton City Council candidates shine brightly as beacons of hope in Scranton’s seemingly endless dark (fine, it isn’t that bad, I felt like being dramatic), Judy Gatelli’s addition to the race won’t really even be a blip on the radar.

Had she been on the ballot, then this would be a different story, but she’s running a… here it comes… quixotic write-in campaign for Council.

The effort required to win a write-in will be insurmountable.  Maybe this is a statement.  Maybe she really thinks she’ll win.  NEPArtisan doesn’t know.

On an amusing, if consistent, side note.  Janet Evans wasn’t available for comment, according to the Times article.  Is she available for anything other than grandstanding at Council?
