Because he was an impersonator? Or because he really was Joe Bloe?
- caminante 2y agoAppears there was never a Joe Bloe. [0] It's also whimsical of Quora because there are many "San Jose" locations. [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor_of_San_Jose,_California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor_of_San_Jose,_California
- gcanyon 2y agoIt was a made-up name for the example, since a. I don't remember the exact year; and b. I'm not sure it was San Jose -- it was some city in the bay area, but maybe not San Jose. Chuck Reed was mayor from 2007 to 2015, and I don't see him on Quora, so probably it was some other city.
- gcanyon 2y agoWho knows? I harbored a 10% skepticism that Quora astroturfed the question. That was just the first example like that I found, in the early days questions like that were common. That should have either removed my skepticism or driven it to 100% :-)
