PW On The Election

Here's a PW video from West Philly asking people about whatever is going on today. (An election of some sort?) And Steven Wells listens to right-wing talk radio all day, including the show of Bill Bennett, who still has a job somehow.

There will be more on the PW front page all night.

Local Blogger Heroically Cancels Out Conservative Radio Host's Clinton Vote

Early last month, local conservative radio host and Bulletin columnist Dom Giordano decided to switch his party affiliation to Democratic in order to vote for Hillary Clinton. Since we don't have any celebrities in this town, even the local gossip columns wrote about this move!

He said he was switching because he felt Clinton was the best candidate and that she'd be easier for John McCain to beat in November. "It might be the vote I remember for my lifetime," Giordano wrote. "And it might be my best vote."

Well, ha ha, Dom Giordano, get this: I specifically switched from not affiliated to Democrat to vote for Barack Obama to cancel out your vote. Your vote didn't count! I did this not out of any affinity for Barack Obama or distaste for Hillary Clinton, or even really out of any hatred for you or John "Walnuts" McCain. I pretty much just wanted to ruin your plan just for the fun of ruining it. And, oh boy, was it fun!

I didn't even want to vote for Obama. He annoys me with his message of hope and change and his supporters are almost as annoying as Ron Paul's. I wouldn't have switched over to Democrat to vote for the Hopemonger if not for the opportunity to ruin this dude's plan. (I'll have no problem voting for Obama in the general, if only to vote against John McCain.) Now somebody tell him. Or don't, really, because I'll know his vote didn't count and that's really all that matters. (Unless my plan didn't work; I was still marked as "not affiliated" in the book at my polling place. But, if that's the case, then I exposed a flaw in the state's voting system. A hero either way!)

In my brief time as a Democrat -- I'll be switching back when I get a chance -- I voted for Brian Hickey for First District Senate and Chrissmari for State Treasurer.
