Throw The Bums Out
As I mentioned previously, I decided to vote for John Konop in the primary of our local Congressional race. That primary occurring this morning, I headed over to the polling place.
My first surprise was to see a product my company sells sitting on the poll workers table. I think, as this was originally a third-party product, that Diebold was getting these from the original vendor. But it’s entirely possible they were buying through our other division in Ohio. Very interesting. I wanted to snap a picture to send to all my coworkers, but they seem to frown on the idea of snapping photos of the technologies used at the polling place. I wonder why?
Outside of the Congressional race, there weren’t many races I was interested in. So I decided to run the contrarian vote. Every race with an incumbent, I voted anti-incumbent. Any race without an incumbent, I didn’t vote, as I don’t really have the time to research races like our local school superintendent (especially since I don’t have kids).
I’ve decided to call my anti-incumbent strategy the “Throw The Bums Out” campaign.
As for the Price-Konop race? Price will probably win it. He’s had several commercials over the last week, and I’m seeing volunteers out on the streets holding signs for him. Of course, he wouldn’t be spending money on commercials and time sending out volunteers if he wasn’t a little bit worried, so we’ll see how it turns out.
