FARMINGTON, NEW MEXICO -- The Hair Consultant campaigning has reached "high tide" with all of the name calling, negativity and personal accusations! :(

Last night, Hair Consultant candidate Dave Ortiz "ripped into" fellow candidates Florida Pete and Sarah for not having a ColoradoGuy bumper sticker on their vehicles, and implied their loyalty to the ColoradoGuy.com web site might be less than stellar.

"They're pitiful and sorrowful. I have a bumper sticker on my truck and display it proudly for all my neighbors to see." said Dave, in a late evening phone conversation with Steve.

"My honest question to them is: Why don't they? Are they ashamed of this web site?" asked Dave.

In the adjacent photo, Dave stood beside his green pick-up truck with the bumper sticker clearly showing, just before Dave and Steve went bicycling round trip from South Fork to Creede.

"I know Sarah is nice, but let's face it, she's a teenager. Does she even have a car?" chided Dave.

"Sarah is probably occupied trying to impress some dorky high school boys." uttered Steve, who has been generally unimpressed with the quality of candidates this year, "Or maybe she really is embarrassed about my web site ... I'm just really turned off by all the candidates right now."

According to this web site, all people are welcome to have a free ColoradoGuy bumper sticker if they agree to put it on their vehicle and many have partaken in the offer. (Adjacent photos: Two ColoradoGuy bumper stickers on vehicles in the Colorado Springs area.)

"I have had a lot of people ask me, 'What is ColoradoGuy.com?' because of the bumper sticker." added Dave.

Some believe Dave's "comparing and contrasting" of himself with other candidates is based on him only gaining 15% of the vote behind Sarah (46%) and Florida Pete (36%) in the latest poll. (Local Chaffee County candidate Chris Teipel only garnered 3%.) Like many politicians sometimes do, Dave went on the offensive to hopefully gain more attention among voters.

In defense of Florida Pete, it is rumored he may have a bumper sticker on his work truck, but if it is true, he is guilty of laziness for never taking a picture of it to offer proof on the forums.

This year's Hair Consultant election will be held on April 13-16, 2006, and all are encouraged to vote. Visit the 2006 Hair Consultant election page to learn about all of the candidates and other details about the election.
