Us Dems are lazy. There are all sorts of stereotypes you can use to describe us. Unfortunatly, as much as we deny them, they're all based on truths...

This got a chuckle out of me:

Quote:
Two voting-age sons of a northern Ohio candidate didn't go to the polls Tuesday, and their father's race ended in a tie.

William Crawford, trying to retain his seat on the central committee of the Erie County Democratic Party, and challenger Jean Miller each received 43 votes in the primary balloting.

Officials plan to conduct a recount, but the race may have to be settled by coin flip, said David Giese, the county's Democratic Party chairman and an elections board member.

Crawford was able to laugh about it Wednesday, but he said his sons are going to be getting an earful for skipping the election.

"Oh they will, let me tell you," Crawford said.

Son Jim lives across the street from Crawford's home in Castalia, about 45 miles southeast of Toledo, and son Andy is a college student who lives at home.

Both are registered Democrats.


It is a democratic primary, so there's no conservatives "winning" cause of this.

But not only is it funny the candidates own sons didn't even bother to vote in the primary, I have to believe theres more than 86 registered democrats in that county.

Who also, didn't bother to go.

Gotta give it to you conservatives, atleast you bother to get out of bed and vote.

That's not even a primary, that's an election for a committee seat within the county Democratic Party. Given how anemic off-year elections are in general, that's not something that exactly mobilizes the voters.

If it was attached to the primaries ballot in the county for the November elections, some people may have just skipped it.

The family angle is funny though.

My boss and pretty much his entire social circle are all old-guard Republicans. And every election, they all meet at this one restaurant and wait out the results. It's pretty funny because they will call the office during the day with the up to the minute results coming out (they never remember the internet access at the office) and then they ask me if I voted or not. I do, but then to get their goat, I'll say that I haven't and don't intend to. Then they start in with plans to go get me and take me to the polls so I can cast my vote. It cracks me up.
