It's On

The political fight for the state of Florida is officially on. Today I got email invites to upcoming local events for Romney, Clinton and Giuliani. It seems as though every presidential candidate will be visiting Sarasota this week. The thing I cannot understand is where anyone got the idea that I'd spend $1,000 on a ticket to see ANY candidate. That's a lot of chicken. Maybe someone can through a fundraising party for me ... I can give a good speech and make a lot of promises. I'll even through in autographs. Any takers?

I do love politics. I love the whole voting process so much that I don't want to vote early and miss out on the excitement of voting on election day. I really like the way things are now, when the playing field is still open and people are still being civil to each other. After the primaries are over it gets ugly and everyone starts behaving like it's a big fight. Until then, I will continue to enjoy the friendly banter. I got an email tonight from TV Gold that said:

"Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President"

Now that's funny.

OMG thank you for the laugh. That slogan was hilarious. Hope you don't mind if I use it until the elections are over *lol*.

I am following the whole thing from over the pond and am totally excited about US politics. I have no clue why.

That is too funny that we both blogged about the same thing the same night - posted the same slogan and I promise I had not read yours! The difference between N. Florida and S. Florida is the candidates are appearing here this week at FREE events in parks. Apparently, this is not a $1,000 a plate district. ; )

no, that's not funny.

IT'S HILARIOUS!!!

I went to see Bush when he was campaigning for re-election. I, who do not keep anything, even kept the ticket stub. It was a wonderful experience.

I'm with you. Even if it's not a candidate you're rooting for, the atmosphere is just magic. I won't write you a book here because I know you already get it.

. . . although I probably should write one on seven chicks apparently! Oh no, that's right, they've already heard it a thousand times. :-P

Poor "Hills", as me and my miami friends call her...it's never funny when someone's husband cheats. Not something to laugh at.
