Ohio Republican Makes Wild Plea to Be Nominee for County Treasurer

Ohio Republican Makes Wild Plea to Be Nominee for County Treasurer

"I will not apologize for my tone tonight!"

Meet Phil Davison. He's a councilmen in Minerva, Ohio. But his sights are set oh-so-much higher.  Never has the nomination to be a candidate for Stark County Treasurer mattered more to any individual. Never.

Thanks to Gawker for quickly re-posting the video after it went private on YouTube.

Time has done a nice analysis of some of Davison's best lines and what Hollywood actor might deliver them best. Including:

"Politics is not touch football. Politics is winner-take-all. It always has been, and it always will be!"

The scoffing in this sentence could be perfectly delivered by a Glengarry-era Alec Baldin.

"Knowledge is power. [...] Let's use this knowledge not only as a tool -- but as a weapon!"

This part is so off-kilter that only Christopher Walken could do it justice.

FYI -- Davison did NOT get the nomination.
