Hello, my lovelies!
With all the media coverage surrounding the national election, I thought I'd give you some highlights, from the point of view of a simple observer. Keep in mind, I'm not a political science major, hobbyist, or even have a passing interest in politics, or science =P.
Ive noticed quite a bit of concerns and questions about the election recently though, many from family, friends, and people on the street who just wouldnt stop talking. Some examples of questions included the following:
Does my vote really count?
Do you have any spare change?
Are these plants safe to eat?
Why do hospital waiting rooms only have magazines like, "Women's Golf Digest", and "Ski Afficionado"?
After pondering these questions for several seconds, I decided to use the time tested method that political analysts on various networks use, from CNN to Fox News, to Animal Planet. That's right, I pulled out my Magic 8-Ball. Be warned, some of these answers may shock you.
Does my vote really count? (In perhaps a nod to the elections of 2000 and 2004, the 8 Ball replied, "Outlook Not So Good".)
When asked if voter fraud was a forseeable problem, the 8 Ball simply said, "Definitely".
Finally, when asked if it will be a close election, the 8 Ball hestitated not for a moment before replying, "Yes". If that isnt wisdom, I dont know what is.
Now, you might be thinking that my 8 Ball may be biased towards one side or the other. Well if you'd like to question the 8 Ball yourself, here's a linky!
I thought I also might give you a few updates on some of the leaders in a few of the battleground states as well.
Ohio: Primarily a Pepsi State, though polls show Coke has been gaining popularity as well. Projection: 60% Pepsi/39% Coke/1% Dr Pepper
Georgia: Coke's home state. If Coke loses this state, it will not only be embarassing, but may eventually lead to a Crystal Pepsi takeover. The horror.
New York: Pepsi's home state. Inside sources say it is surprisingly a mixture of Pepsi, Coke, and mysterious third party Mountain Dew.
Texas: Projection: Pepsi 2%/Coke 2%/Dr Pepper 94%.
Australia: Projection: Pepsi 1%/Coke 1%/Vegemite 98%.
And now some write in candidates, while they are all disqualified due to not being properly carbonated, they deserved a mention, nonetheless.
