Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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?
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...

I respect people who vote period - with me, againt me, beside me, whatever - NOT voting and giving as the reason that it won't matter between candidates is what I loathe.
I would love a 3 party system or a more representative government, but I also have my head and feet firmly planted in reality and as long as our current system IS the reality, I really do not get voting pie in the sky.

Hey peeps, I heard Barack Obama can leap tall buildings in a single bound! That Hillary? Rumor is that she carries Batarangs under her pantsuit.
Um, shamefacedly, and for the record, I voted for Kerry in 2004. And honestly, I had *totally forgotten about Kerry at all* while I was writing that, and did believe I voted for Gore in 2004. It wasn't a typo, it was a thinko. I am the reason we can't have nice things.
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.
Yeah, I've heard this too, and I'm not surprised. But I don't know how you turn a tide with that.
On the other hand, there's a year and a half to go for whoever pulls out of Super T on top, so that's certainly some level of opportunity.
