Election Day (US)

[SerenityNigh]

There is a Blue in my area whose dad is running for local office. I don't personally know either--should I vote for his dad just because his son is a blue? All comments appreciated.

Note: the dad running for office has other children, at least one of whom is a United fan, so I can't account for his ethics entirely.

If the dad isn't a blue then he can do one

Hopefully his political leanings are blue

Voting for someone based on who they support is so crazy...that it might just work.

It's not (probably) a terribly important position

C'mon, this is a Louisiana election... <insert any number of appropriate jokes>

Definitely... but do I vote for him?

"put away the good stuff, here comes Carville..."
"don't get caught with a dead girl or a live boy in your bed"
"vote for the crook, it's important"
"we found this 100,000 dollars in your freezer, Sir..."

It's a gold mine. Then again, I come from a place where Carl Hiassen books are just about like real life.

And then there's Charlie Crist. Here's my song for Charlie:

Some of that is unnatural. Spot on.

Everybody is crooked.

As long as he's not one of those tea party lunatics then definitely..

Everybody is crooked.

Especially the red leaning types...

Hmmm... lots of those around here... maybe I should do some research before voting...

Interested to see how that Colorado mail-in vote system works. Sounds like a nightmare. Still amazed that when I voted early in Maryland I didn't need to show any form of ID.

Everybody is crooked.

No argument here. Now, do you want to give them more or less power over your life?

This simple thought exercise makes the process much easier for me.
