From the trailer park to Congress

First, I will say one thing and get it out of the way...

If you are using google reader or something to read my blog, please click on my page because I am getting few responses to my polls and the small sample size is skewing my results. Also I like to get hits on my page counter.

Anyway,

As an absentee voter, I had the privilege of looking up the candidates as I was voting. It was excellent because in TN they do not list third-party candidates by their party names, they are all listed as independent, which I did not know. Because I could look everyone up, I was able to vote Green for one office.

In the process of researching the candidates, I came across a man running as an independent who calls himself Jon "Trailer Park" Jackson.


Only in Tennessee, baby. Would you ever vote for a fringe candidate?

Can you operationally define "first *clear* memory" for those of us who need to fully understand the question before coming up with an answer?

I don't know what kind of person would want to fully understand a questions before answering it!!! Geez....

I know it isn't the best thing to do, but if I don't know who the candidates are (for local elections), I vote for the democrat.
