Enjoy His Retirement

I hope D'Army Bailey doesn't take the bait and throw his hat in the ring for mayor. He is only being courted because none of the front runners in the race are listening to the group that is trying to draft him to run. Judge Bailey is at the best place in his career he's ever been. He no longer has to hustle cases and take the lead in unheralded causes like he has in the past. He can retire and draw his pension and promote his book and pursue other interests.

To put it mildly, D'Army Bailey is unelectable in a major contest. He won in races for judge probably because he was uncontested or due to his name recognition. Once you get elected as judge you have to really drop the ball to be removed from office. Most judges remain seated until they retire on their own or due to a scandal. Judge Bailey is the kind of person who could lose a race after getting a big head start. He lead the charge to restore the "Lorraine Hotel,"only to have it taken over by a group of philantropist led by Pitt Hyde. Since he has already finished one race. He should just sit back and enjoy his retirement.
