Local Blogger Heroically Cancels Out Conservative Radio Host’s Clinton Vote

Early last month, local conservative radio host and Bulletin columnist Dom Giordano decided to switch his party affiliation to Democratic in order to vote for Hillary Clinton. Since we don’t have any celebrities in this town, even the local gossip columns wrote about this move!

He said he was switching because he felt Clinton was the best candidate and that she’d be easier for John McCain to beat in November. “It might be the vote I remember for my lifetime,” Giordano wrote. “And it might be my best vote.”

Well, ha ha, Dom Giordano, get this: I specifically switched from not affiliated to Democrat to vote for Barack Obama to cancel out your vote. Your vote didn’t count! I did this not out of any affinity for Barack Obama or distaste for Hillary Clinton, or even really out of any hatred for you or John “Walnuts” McCain. I pretty much just wanted to ruin your plan just for the fun of ruining it. And, oh boy, was it fun!

I didn’t even want to vote for Obama. He annoys me with his message of hope and change and his supporters are almost as annoying as Ron Paul’s. I wouldn’t have switched over to Democrat to vote for the Hopemonger if not for the opportunity to ruin this dude’s plan. (I’ll have no problem voting for Obama in the general, if only to vote against John McCain.) Now somebody tell him. Or don’t, really, because I’ll know his vote didn’t count and that’s really all that matters. (Unless my plan didn’t work; I was still marked as “not affiliated” in the book at my polling place. But, if that’s the case, then I exposed a flaw in the state’s voting system. A hero either way!)

In my brief time as a Democrat — I’ll be switching back when I get a chance — I voted for Brian Hickey for First District Senate and Chrissmari for State Treasurer.

Boardwalk Merchants Encourage Voting

Citizen Mom went down the shore over the weekend and spotted this wall of incredible bootleg t-shirts on the Wildwood boardwalk, including shirts for Obama, Clinton and even creepy old John McCain. The “Osama for Obama” one begs the question: No “Barry Hussein” shirts?

Oh Noes! Who Will Win Tomorrow?!

In most elections, like the Philadelphia mayoral race last year or the general election this coming November, we already know who’s going to win. (Respectively: Michael Nutter and Ron Paul.) But tomorrow we don’t know who’s going to win! Alli Katz has posted this poll chart from Pollster (that I’ve made a little easier to follow with some additions) that shows that … I dunno.

Clinton is up by a few points, and will probably win by a few points. But we’re not 100 percent completely sure, and so tomorrow will be fun.

By fun, of course, I mean not fun.

Your Quote Of The Day

A friendly reader sends along this quote he heard on the Washington Post’s politics podcast from Hillary Clinton:

“I really think this is one of the defining issues in this campaign between me and my opponent. Now unfortunately, he doesn’t cover everyone. And he is attacking me with a new ad that he has put up because I do cover everyone with more misleading information.”

Mhmm. Indeed you do, Ms. Clinton. Indeed you do.

Pennsylvanians Hate All Candidates

Wonkette has posted this incredible sign from somewhere in central-ish Pennsylvania, coming up with nicknames for the candidates: Barry “Nobama” Obama and Hillary “Lying Narcisist [sic?] Bitch” Clinton.

We need these signs around here. NOW.

Hillary Clinton Won’t Ever Leave Us Alone

And you thought you could escape the election during a simple Phillies-Mets game, at least in between the commercial breaks. No go: Hillary Clinton’s supporters parked right behind the Phillies dugout — which meant that after the cameras realized there were Clinton signs there, we never saw another shot of a left-handed batter from that angle again. Thanks for ruining the game, Hillary!

No sporting arena is safe, it seems: Tonight, there’s a rally with Bill, Hillary and Chelsea at The Palestra. Hillary was naturally on Q102 this morning as well.

Hillary: Comfortable In The Kitchen!

Ha ha, someone told Hillary Clinton she’s comfortable in the kitchen! Was it noted America-hater Barack Obama? Clinton-lover/radio host/sexist Howard Eskin? Surely a comment so evil could only have been said by Adolf Hitler himself.

Nope, it was said by none other than Hillary Clinton!

Clinton also brought up this week’s Philadelphia debate without naming her rival, Sen. Barack Obama. She said her opponent complained about some hard questioning by the moderators, but said that it was nothing compared to her own eight years in the White House as first lady. She quoted Harry Truman: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” She added that she’s comfortable in that “kitchen.”

When Hillary Clinton is president, such sexist comments will be outlawed.

Larry West Supports… No One!

Now that Jesus White has delivered his endorsement, it’s about time we found out who ineligible mayoral candidate Larry West thinks should be mayor.

And what do you know! He emailed me a little bit ago:

Hey, how are you? Long time, no write, huh? Well, I’m working on a new site and campaign called “None of the Above”, where I basically say that no one running should be President. The front runners are only “OK” in my eyes. There’s more to come, but have a few images you may like [see at right--dmac]

More images here.

-Larry

So there you go: Uhh… nobody. I assume when he writes “the front runners,” he means Clinton and Obama and not John McCain. In fact, I’m pretty sure of that.

My Email Program Knows All

Turns out Clinton wanted me to share my bank account information in exchange for a cabinet position. Thanks to my Thunderbird, I was able to scoop out this 409 (ha!) 419 scam.

CBS 3: Old People Hate Obama!

Yesterday, CBS 3’s dreamy Susan Barnett did a report on how a bunch of old people love Hillary Clinton and John McCain and hate Barack Obama. But not because he’s black! Just because…. they don’t want to vote for him. Also, apparently everyone thinks Iraq attacked us on 9/11 and that Obama hates America and won’t salute the flag.

Oh, and the one black guy hates John McCain because he’s a “all the big boys get bigger”, apparently. Well, duh.
