Suharto – former president of Indonesia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suharto
Just one name.
Current president = Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
and yes, all 3 names are used.
non-issue to me, but some will wag a finger.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakti
Hmmmm. I remember a Centennial City Council race won with pretty much zero expenditure by a Dem Anderson over a Republican Shen. I think Anderson took it by 75% and even though it's non-partisan, people most motivated to vote tend to find out who's who and Centennial very definitely leaned R at the time. I'm sure it still does but maybe not by as much. Still, it was breeze for the D with the familiar white bread name.
So a single name like "Shakti", especially if people use the google and get to the info cited above, against a good ol' "Sue King"? That's going to be a problem. And not just with xenophobes. I mean really, does anything say "flaky" louder than a middle class American white lady adopting this kind of name, perhaps to make a statement harking back to issues with her parents who just didn't get her? What's her platform? Colon cleansing and aroma therapy?
In Boulder all that might be a big plus.
But Lakewood isn't Aspen
.
Oops, meant Boulder. Either way.
She says on her website that her parents gave her the name. Just an FYI.
My bad but that's the impression that first popped into my mimd and you can'r can't get much lower info, lower priority than a City Council election. Anderson v Shen is my model. Bet most of the 75% who voted for him never looked up anyone's website. It was just whitebread name v exotic name. I'm sure all those Rs didn't vote for him because they did their research and just loved this particular Dem.
Did her parents also drop the last name for her? Shakti Jones would be better.
Sorry for all the typos. My oven timer went off.
too much excitement in the Cat house when the oven timer goes off? 😉 I' busily cooking with 4 dogs around my feet waiting for me to drop a piece of chicken. Not tonight pooch
Single name that sounds foreign might scare some of the scaredy-cats.
If it were an all write-in election, she'd definitely have an advantage.
As-is? Well, it will probably be a turn-off to the xenophobic types. Otherwise, I'd call it a draw.
There's no other Shakti running, is there? Non-issue. What's her platform?
It's never bothered Torre in Aspen.
Like I said….
Wasn't that a movie with Richard Gere and a chow?
