Out of 14 registered users, I received answers to my poll concerning voting from only 4 users, that&#8217;s less than 30%, but I guess that&#8217;s about par for most elections in this country, if not a little better&#8230;..

You could also hit the homeless shelters, but it&#8217;s harder to find registered voters&#8230;..  Once you&#8217;ve won a few minor elections using this method, you will have name recognition and voters you don&#8217;t even know will vote for you because they think you&#8217;re experienced and a good guy&#8230;&#8230;  I guess it boils down to <strong>&#8220;Honesty in Politics&#8221;<\/strong> does not exist, so I withdraw my candidacy for <strong>Prez<\/strong> and I&#8217;m just <em>&#8220;Waitin&#8217; for the Bus&#8221;<\/em> at the old folks home to go vote&#8230;..     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it&#8217;s been 17 days since I made my political bid Post and the results were disappointing to say the least&#8230;.
