Americans Voted for Dead Democrat over Live Republican
From an Associated Press news wire:
PIERRE, South Dakota - A woman who died two months ago won a county commissioner's race in Jerauld County on Tuesday. Democrat Marie Steichen, of Woonsocket, got 100 votes, defeating incumbent Republican Merlin Feistner, of Woonsocket, who had 64 votes. Jerauld County Auditor Cindy Peterson said voters knew Steichen had died, "They just had a chance to make a change, and we respect their opinion."
This has to be one of the best examples of just how much Bush & the Republicans got thumped in the mid-term elections.
Merlin Feistner may have stood a better chance if he campaigned on one of the following slogans after Marie Steichen died:
1. Vote for Me - I'm still Warm and Breathing.
2. My Opponent is Wrong, Dead Wrong.
3. Feistner! Breathing New Life into Jerauld County.
4. Don't Vote Steichen - She'll just lie there as if nothing's happening.
5. Feistner for a Government of the People, for the People and by a Living Person!
