Bill Smith's rejected campaign slogans

Edmonton's gearing up for a municipal election next month. Our three-time mayor Bill Smith is going for another term in office. He's running on one of the more lacklustre campaign slogans I've seen: "Keep the momentum going."

Here are some of the slogans rejected by the mayor and his elite team of election strategists:

• A vote for me is a vote for inertia
• Let's work together to prove Newton's first law of motion
• Sometimes when people say 'same old, same old' they mean it in a bad way. But in my case it's actually good!
• I have the lowest frictional coefficient of all the candidates
• Noce eats babies
• Hey Edmonton, I'm trading in my 'buy three, get the fourth term free' card
• Re-elect Zombie Mayor
• I put the 'ass' in 'mass' and the 'city' in 'velocity,' dig?
• Momentum: what you have when you're all out of ideas
• Please, I can't coast into office without you
