My wife and I voted by absentee ballot. One of the offices we didn’t really care about was Lieutenant Governor. Really – what the heck is this? The VP of goverrnorships?
Anyway, I had no preference until earlier in the day when I heard a commercial for Tom McClintock. Technically, it was a commercial AGAINST him by his opponent – whathisface.
Here’s the quote from the commercial. Setup – they’re talking about how out of touch Tom McClintock is with the voters.
Woman’s Voice: Providing abortions for the poor would be like “Providing scotch for the wino lying in the gutter.”
I almost drove off the road. I still laugh when I think of this line. Later that evening, I cast a ballot for Tom.
You know – it’s true. It DOES pay to advertise.
Not to brag or anything, but ive had Tom over for dinner and i have to say that he is not only a really funny guy in person- but damn smart too.
WOO VOTE FOR TOM!!
I recall his old commercials for state treasurer as being as tight as a frogs butt.
Winos get free scotch now?
I love scotch!
I’m gonna become a wino!
… or scotcho, as the case may be…
You may not have anyone to vote for,
but usually there is someone to vote against.
Radio campaign commercial for a state representatives race (lightly paraphrased):
“Joe Micon has run a clean race, never criticizing or attacking. Unlike that evil harpy Connie Basham who slithered up from the black depths to slime the good name of Joe Micon, wouldn’t know the truth if it bit her and tried to eat Joe Micon’s baby”
Sounds like a good time. Scotch and abortions. Bring a date.
I wanted to run one against our dhimicrat challenger for the House; “Angie Paccione; just a little TOO Carmello Soprano for our district.”
