NH Primary. The ones left behind.

I was in Nashua last night and had to off-chance of giving a friend a ride to the polls. As we were walking out to the car, we noticed another car patrolling around. It was a group of youngsters (gawd, i feel so old) volunteering rides for people. I thought that was cool.

The polls had long lines. There was definitely a lot of energy out there to get people to vote. I think this is going to be a very interesting election, indeed.

On the ballots, were some interesting candidates I had never heard of. On the Democratic roster, there was O. Savior. What? I can't seem to find anything about this Savior person. Okay, here we go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Savior. Not much about him.

His real name is Oloveuse Scorpio "Ole" Savior. Of course it is.

Now on the Republican ticket, I noticed mostly everyone except for this guy. Vermin Love Supreme, a street performer from Rockport. Here's his campaign video from planet, kooky-pants. This kinda video inspires me. I do believe everyone should be able to run using publicity stunts. Hell, if Mike Huckabee can pimp out Chuck Norris and have a hamburger named after him, than this man should be able to tote around his clown-wigs and toothbrushes with pride and assurance of just as much coverage as any other candidate.







On the way into town, I saw Ed Harding from Boston's Channel 5 on the sidewalk. That man has a lot of news anchor-hair. I mean, seriously, if you cumulatively coiffed back the collective news anchors' hairdos, you'd free up at least 90 percent more space for additional footage. Between, Ed Harding and Sam Donaldson, I would guesstimate this would free up about about 5 feet of pixel height alone per shoot. Just a thought.




More evidence of media bias by ABC from Aragorn (yes, Viggo Mortensen was in town!). Kucinich was excluded from the Democratic debate. I hark back to the 2000 debates, when the same thing happened to third party candidates. Makes you wonder ---all this talk about change. Has it really changed? I'd like to hope so. We shall see. Actions speak louder than rhetoric.

Thanks Renegade of the Redwoods for the Aragorn tip.












I hope all my peeps from NH got out and voted! Even pushed through the line and told Tracey Fleck to eat it, like Jenn did, when she told her she had to go to another polling place. That was bad-ass.



Peace~
