Early voting begins this weekend in the New York City mayor’s race. While two of the candidates in the primary are likely to show up on the ballot in November, several will be out of work after June 24. And they might be looking to get out of town for a while and get some fresh air. Luckily, the Buffalo Bills are hiring a mascot handler. The job is part-time, pays a cushy $75 per hour and is kind of like an understudy. It affords the opportunity to eventually don the blue buffalo suit oneself and step into the spotlight. For a failed mayoral candidate, who has endured months (or years) of scrutiny, facing the cameras under the bright lights of the debate stage, campaigning from church to subway stop to rollercoaster, day in and day out, it might be nice to try on an entirely new persona for a while. Billy Buffalo never has to read a public opinion poll.
