But if I thought it would get us another vote, I'd pull people to the polls in my big ol' Gorilla wagon. Unfortunately, just about everyone else but me around here votes Repug. I used to go around joking, "Remember, to cut down on long lines, this year the Dems vote on Tuesday and the GOP goes Wednesday." Some people offered to tar and feather me - they still might yet - but others actually nodded and said "OK." Then when I was kind enough to tell them it was a joke, THEY offered to tar and feather me. Just no pleasing some people.

BTW, I even heard President Obama telling that joke about GOP voting on Wednesday. It's a good one. Think I'll try it again this year and see how many people bite.
