To the nines

Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. announced yesterday that he will seek a ninth term in the coming election.
I did not personally attend the announcement at Ackerman Park so I can only assume that the gathered crowd kind of looked at him, then at one another, shrugged, and said, “Uh, yeah, Joe… um, well, you ARE the mayor of Charleston.”
Or rather, “…you are THE mayor of Charleston.”
After 32 consecutive years of having him in office, it gets kind of difficult to imagine anyone else doing the job.
