A daily series, Connect! Unite! Act! seeks to create face-to-face networks in each congressional district. Groups regularly socialize but also get out the vote, support candidates and engage in other local political actions that help our progressive movement grow and exert influence on the powers-that-be. Visit us at Daily Kos every morning at 7:30 A.M. Pacific Time to see how you can get involved. The comment thread is fun and light-hearted, but we're serious about moving the progressive political agenda forward.

Did goblins invade your Halloween dreams?
After trick-or-treating last night, I flossed the candy corn from out my teeth and retired to my chambers where a specter named Opal Covey haunted my rest. I dreamed I had moved to Toledo, Ohio where she was recently elected mayor. I peed the bed.
Opal Covey (R), is a candidate running for the mayor's seat in Toledo, Ohio. Opal and God are tight and are in to to win it. Failing that, the city of Toledo will get kicked in the ass the likes we haven't seen since that little shower Katrina hit New Orleans. She was robbed of her righteous election in 2013 and she is speaking out about it loudly, mostly in tongues.
Opal has been a perennial candidate for the mayoral office for the past five election cycles. She is convinced that the last election was stolen from her by the powers that be. This has angered the baby Jesus and Opal is now vowing that unless the people of Toledo right this dastardly wrong, God will kidney-punch Toledo until hell won't have it.
When radio host Fred LeFebvre of WIOT-FM questioned her creds, she marched herself down to the station and gave ol' Fred holy hell.
Should Opal lose her bid once again this November, there is still hope. When Mike Huckabee wins the Republican primary, which he surely will, he is going to need a running mate. Unencumbered by public office, Opal would be a shoe-in.
How were your Halloween dreams?
