I remember him talking about one election, possibly the one you are referring to, where one of the candidates said something like "Just hold your nose and vote for me", or maybe the campaign slogan was "Vote for the crook, it's important!" I still have a clipping from one of the governors races which was pretty funny, and I can't find it online so I'll quote it, an article by Ed Anderson: <BR/>"The 14-candidate field of gubernatorial hopefuls was reduced by one Friday when Mike foster dropped out of the campaign. <BR/><BR/>That's Mike Foster the brick mason from Pitkin, not Mike Foster the incumbent governor. [snip] Officials with Gov. Foster's campaign had suggested that the brick layer was coaxed into qualifying this week by the governor's opponents to cause confusion on the ballot. Further questions were raised when it was learned that the man from Pitkin had changed his name in June from Brian Keith Doyle and had switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, the same as the governor's."<BR/><BR/>LOL<BR/><BR/>I also remember them telling me about a vote they had I believe on bringing in riverboat gambling. All the lights in the congressional chamber went out--when the turned back on, the bill had passed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-64106029064635648172008-03-11T19:19:00.000-05:002008-03-11T19:19:00.000-05:00prata: after Digging it the first time, I figured ...prata: after Digging it the first time, I figured this was too much work.<BR/><BR/>angel: I like to see what motivates people, whether it be politics or other things.<BR/><BR/>larry: thanks, sweetie.<BR/><BR/>richman: thanks, sweetie.Leesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552562808209927463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-30136975831723722072008-03-11T17:42:00.000-05:002008-03-11T17:42:00.000-05:00nice storytelling.nice storytelling.richmanwiscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918911902112325972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-65002440272442509892008-03-11T12:17:00.000-05:002008-03-11T12:17:00.000-05:00Yeah, nice tying loose threads together.Yeah, nice tying loose threads together.LarryLillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476633371958841991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-78668888468535777312008-03-11T10:44:00.000-05:002008-03-11T10:44:00.000-05:00Its very nice post asusual..as I used to hate poli...Its very nice post asusual..as I used to hate politics.. but I started learning from you.
