Gubernatorial Candidate Hits A Snag

Rhode Island voters have expressed dismay over Frank Caprio’s “shove it” comment after failing to fain an endorsement from President Obama. The Democratic candidate is seen as losing ground to his independent opponent.



                Pulling Back

It appears Rhode Island’s candidate
Is in a bit of trouble;
His reaction to the President
May burst his political bubble.

Since Obama withheld endorsement
And Frank said he can shove it,
The candidate is losing ground
And can’t seem to rise above it.

In an era when most candidates
Are at each other’s throats,
Rhode Island’s would-be Governor
May have lost a ton of votes.

Lashing out when one’s upset
Can be seen as less than wise.
Rhode Islanders say they may vote
For one of the other guys.
