POLITICAL POTPOURRI TURNING THE TABLES - State representative candidate Will Crocker and Town Councilor Jim Munafo share a laugh as Munafo signs Crocker's nomination papers Monday. Before he left the news staff of WQRC/WOCN-FM, it was Crocker who would do the writing when a councilor spoke. HE'D COUNSEL THE GOVERNOR - Phil Paleologos of New Bedford crossed the Canal Monday to speak briefly to the Barnstable Republican Town Committee. He's a candidate to serve on the Governor'sCouncil,whichadvises on selection of judges - and he's not happy with what he calls "activist" jurists. Naked Oyster to naked politics? Last week,we reported that Naked Oyster owner Rick Angelini planned to sell the popular restaurant to concen- trat e on other interests. One of those interests may be a run for Barnstable 's Second District Representa- tive seat. Town Clerk Linda Hutch- enrider said that Angelini had taken out nomination papers for the office about two weeks ago. Angelini did not return a call for comment. The West Yarmouthresident livesinone of two precincts in that town that fall within that district. If he files the necessary 150 signatures by the May 2 deadline, Angeliniwould face incumbent Democrat Deme- trius Atsalis, who is planning to seek another term, and long-time radio newsman will Crocker, who has also taken out nomination papers. A quick check of Angelini's political contributions on the last two years shows him to have contributed mostly to Republicans. Of his $3643.75 incontributions since 2004,all but $1,000 went to Republican candidates. Of the two Demo- crats contributions,$300went to Atsalis, his would-be op- ponent. Crocker previews campaign for rep Former radio news reporter Will Crocker said Monday that the 2nd Barnstable District, represented for years by Democrat De- metriusAtsalis,is"under- served. I don't think that residents or businesses are getting what they pay for. Lots of issues are not being handled, or mis- handled." Accompanied by his wifeJudy,the Centerville resident spoke informal- ly to members of the Barnstable Republican Town Committee Mon- day. Asked to name two de- fining issues of his cam- paign, Crocker cited ad- vocacy for better elder health care and construc- tion of another exit off Route 6 between exits 6 and 7. Crocker 's topic as guest speaker was "CapeCod Media and Broadcasting." White stakes out independence for Congressional run Peter White used to be Green, as in the Green Party, but hisrunfor Massachusetts' 10th Congressionalseat willbe unaffiliated. White iseschewingallpoliti- cal parties to run as an inde- pendent.Theformer chairman of the Cape'sGreen-Rainbow Party said that the two-party system is corrupt and third partiessimply haven't caught on. With a majority of vot- ers registered to no political parties, he believes that the independent route istheright way to go. That opinion got a boost with gubernatorial candidate Christy Mihos's decision to seek that office as an inde- pendent. A cornerstone of White's campaign is to introduce articles of Impeachment against President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and other members of their Administra- tion that he believes have lied to Congress and committed other impeachable crimes. That incumbent Demo- cratic Congressman BillDela- hunt has not introduced such articles isviewed by White as aviolation of Delahunt'soath of office to uphold the laws of the land. On Sunday, White held a rescheduled "meet the can- didate" night at Sam Diego's in Hyannis. Candidates announce events Monday's meeting of the Barnstable Republican Town Committee drew a good sam- pling of GOP hopeful (one of whom ishopeful he'll keep his seat in November) . State senate candidates Doug Bennett of Nantucket and Rick Barros of Hyannis were there, as wasincumbent clerk of courts Scott Nicker- son. Barros said his campaign kickoff will be March 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Grille 16 in Hyannis. Nickerson's event is set for the next day at Al- berto 's restaurant in Hyannis from 5 to 7 p.m. Bennett will have his event on April 15 at 4 p.m. at a location to be an- nounced. Will Crocker, candidate for state rep and the evening 's speaker,said he'llannounce for- mally at Grille 16 on April 11. f —N CONGRATULATIONS !
