Rob Ford’s alleged butt-grab victim tries to butt into his spot

Frank Touby —

Dreadlocked-candidate Sarah Thomson claims a poll puts her in 5th place, rising above Councillor Karen Stintz and compares herself to ex-mayor David Miller in the early stages of his campaign.

In a release, Thomson, who was laughed at when she claimed that a drunken Mayor Rob Ford “grabbed my ass,” reported that what she terms the results of a recent poll has her in striking distance of replacing Rob Ford’s butt in office with her own.

He grabbed my ass

Given the current disgraced mayor’s history of being shit-faced in public, fewer people still doubt that Ford did indeed put a ham-hand on Sarah’s shapely butt.

Her release says:

A poll commissioned by the Sarah Thomson Campaign done on Sunday, March 23, 2014 by Forum Research verifies that Sarah Thomson is polling in the top 5. The total sample size of the poll was 1069 with a margin of error plus or minus 3%.

Sarah Thomson is polling in 5th place in the race for Mayor, above David Soknaki who came out in early January. Sarah Thomson is polling above Councillor Karen Stintz in the downtown core of Toronto. 

The poll also shows that there is room for growth when it comes to the issue of dedicated transit funding and tolls on non-resident commuters.

Sarah Thomson is in the same position in the first days of her campaign that David Miller held in the first days of his campaign in the 2003 race:

“While we have just entered the race, I feel in good standing. The poll shows that we are in 5th position and have a lot of room to grow. We are well organized, and have funding in place to carry through for the next 8 months. I look forward to talking about real ideas and real solutions for the challenges facing our great city,” she says.
