I walked back from the board of elections office last week feeling relieved. I hadn't forgotten to vote; I had earned my hindsight. And in this hindsight I'm seeing things about this election we have on our hands.
There's definitely a few things I would've done differently.
The first time I heard of Joe the Plumber was during that last debate. Both candidates referred to him and even addressed him. At first I thought he was a numb-nutted American allegory.
Then Joe the Plumber hit the media. He's kind of a big, dumb ape from everything I've seen.
But, he's riding the wave.
Old Joe (who's from Toledo; only in Ohio right?) might be just as inspiring as Obama's rhetorical skills. Think, one loser makes a story for himself and speaks out like a Yahtzee-playing idiot at the Athens Lunatics Asylum and he's famous. The story's not even necessarily true.
All this has me thinking. I'm a loudmouth, you know? I could tell people what I thought. What's more, I could trump Joe the Plumber and back it up if I needed to. Why not try to get some media attention?
After all, I've got a face for television.
October 30, 2008 at 6:55 PM I felt relieved after I voted absentee because I didn't vote for either Premier Obama or McInsane. I still got asked every day to register in Kent and to early vote, but I'd rather vote for good ol' EP.
