My buddy said when Jay Rockefeller was running against Arch more two of the characters in his town were driving people to the polls.

They went to this lady's house to get her and she said "Just wait a minute boys let me fix my makeup" While she was in the bathroom they said are you voting for Rockefeller and she said "No boys. I believe I'm voting for Arch Moore this time"

One looked at the other and said "Lets get the hell out of here" and they quietly slipped out and drove off before she came out of the bathroom
