With a great word play too.<br /><br />However, (unfortunately) word is he is not just doing it to prove a point :-(<br />I keep hearing from different sources he is being paid by someone to run on a condition that he allows his "mandoubin" to work for the other guy because there is a limit on how many "mandoubin" each nominee can have.<br /><br />It also explains why this year he is running in Tripolis instead of his hometown Batroun, in previous election Tripolis and Batroun were the same "electoral district" now they are different, and the guy (from tripolis) paying him will not be able to use his "mandoubin" if they are in another electoral district, so he moved.<br /><br />This is all hearesay and I have no idea who is the guy accused of paying him, so it could be just a rumor.<br /><br />Anyway all this does not change the fact that he consistently has the best campaign slogan!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
