When she ran her last campaign for Senator, she picked up huge numbers in the more conservative areas upstate simply by showing up and being demonstrably non-Satanic. Once she was standing in front of people, they had a much harder time remembering what specifically she'd done to piss them off in the first place.

This makes me feel better. Seriously.

I just shared the "He doesn't have a real black man's name" story with my co-workers, and we suddenly realized -- why hasn't someone named "Jesus" run for office yet? It's TOTALLY time.

That does make me feel better too.

why hasn't someone named "Jesus" run for office yet?

There would be emails saying that he was secretly Latino? Even if it weren't secret?

What pisses me off (OK, one of many things that piss me off) is how gullible people can be. People say they won't vote for Obama because "I heard he was a Muslim." Because of those stupid emails circulating around. I guess it never occurs to these people that there are people out there who make shit up about politicians....

Sure, those are inevitable. But if there are people stupid enough to NOT vote for a candidate based on the candidate's name, surely their counterparts exist who WILL vote for a candidate based on his name. And what better name than "Jesus"?

Hillary definitely won over Upstate New York one person at a time, practically. But it did work!

And what better name than "Jesus"?

"Bigballs McManly"?

Nevaeh?

"Bigballs McManly"?

"Chuck Norris"?... oh, wait...
