Great Fun, Witty and Clever,

The Old Blue Mayor She Ain't What She Used To Be is a terrific Simpsons episode with a very well written plot and a ton of chuckle worthy moments. Marge running for mayor was a great plot that I am actually surprised the show had not done before. Putting her up against Mayor Quimby was a delight that lead to plenty of very enjoyable moments. I liked the unexpected turn of having her make fun of Homer in order to win people's support, and how she managed to achieve this as a result of the naivety of Springfieldians.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the side story of Mayor Quimby enjoying a life of retirement, it was very humourus and also nice to see him get his own little story, as he is a character who is rarely given anything more than a scene or two used merely for gags.

Funny and consistently enjoyable. A clever, satisfying twenty minutes, The Old Blue Mayor She Ain't What She Used To Be is a solid Simpsons episode.

Marge runs for mayor and uses jokes aimed at Homer's expense to gain support.
