HE'D BE WASTED IN A LEGISLATURE:
Vincent Cianci isn’t ruling out run for office (Dave Wedge, February 24, 2011, Boston Herald)
Former Providence mayor-turned-ex-con Vincent “Buddy” Cianci yesterday left open the door to another run for public office on the heels of a new poll showing he remains one of the most popular politicians in Rhode Island.“There’s always a possibility of running for office,” he said. “But I have no intention right now of running for anything.”
Cianci is barred from running for office in Rhode Island until 2012 but could seek federal office, a prospect that gained steam yesterday when a Providence TV station released a poll showing him within striking distance of freshman Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.).
He ought to go for governor.
