T -11 days: will you vote for the status quo?
I let out a little fart of disgust about the 'Fraid Chickens (Teddeth Blackland), and it gets linked to the Peirce campaign blog. Thanks, I'm flattered, but I feel like I haven't done anything or enough or whatever. There's no time in my day to campaign. All I can do is shout out the idea that voting for the lesser of the evils isn't working.
It's like pulling teeth though. I've got a friend who claims to be a socialist (hey, I'm working on him), and he can't bring himself to vote for Fitrakis because Blackwell scares him so badly. "But Strickland is 12 points ahead in the polls!" No matter. It's as if people were hypnotized. The same people who don't drink mass market beer or drink mass market food, who don't listen to Top 40 radio...will still vote for mass market politicians.
I enjoyed the College Republican stunt though. I've done my share of concrete work, and there's no shame in working a float or trowel. Being a Congressman, on the other hand... And Dr. Peirce has too much class to whine on the blog about his supporters being sent to the back of the bus to a hill 1000 feet away from the action. However I, being a former cement worker, don't have that much class (per Ted Strickland), so I can say THAT SUCKS!
