Storyline

- TriviaMarge's campaign slogan "I'm with Hair" is a reference to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign slogan "I'm with Her".
- GoofsMarge, campaigning for the "Yokel Objectivist" vote, tells Cletus that she objects to darn revenuers. Cletus, holding a copy of "The Fountainhead" (by Ayn Rand, who created the philosophy she called Objectivism) says that Marge is like John Galt. John Galt is a character in "Atlas Shrugged", a different book also by Ayn Rand. Maybe Cletus didn't have a copy of "Atlas Shrugged" handy; the corresponding character in "The Fountainhead" would be Howard Roark.

Featured review
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.
