Happy Voting Day

It’s election day in Virginia. It’s a real "horserace". Political pundits are calling the race "neck and neck" because the candidates are "actually horses" and not "people". Tim Kaine likes to eat apples. Jerry Kilgore will crap on your children.

If you live in Virginia, I strongly encourage you to vote. The race is very close, making everyone’s votes marginally less worthless. I almost always vote, but I understand the "What’s one vote going to do?" sentiment many people have. That’s why we should take advantage of electronic voting machine technology and randomly select a person to get 10,000 votes. If you’re the person, after you vote, a flashing pop-up box will appear:

"YOU’RE A WINNER! YOU JUST GAVE WRITE-IN CANDIDATE "voting suxs" 10,000 VOTES. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMPLETE A SURVEY FOR A CHANCE TO WIN $50?"

Virginia is one of the most conservative states in the U.S. When Democratic governors get elected, it’s by narrow margins. I hope the Democratic candidate, Tim Kaine, wins. Overall, he seems much more fiscally responsible and realistic than Jerry Kilgore. Also, I like his campaign policy of "No using the name of Hitler in ads against my opponent." But it’s hard seeing Virginia elect a Democrat for governor two elections in a row.
