My friend, Beth, sent me this video, which is being circulated by MoveOn.org to help Obama. It’s cute and funny, but unfortunately for them, I do vote in every single election, even for school board.
Unfortunately for me, my vote will not decide this election. Also, unfortunately for me, I personally had the experience of losing by just one vote because some people who were my friends just couldn’t be bothered to go vote and make the difference.
Plus a sleazy Judge, Edward Sosnick–who represented my opponent when she embezzled from her job, was rumored to have had a relationship with her, and refused to recuse himself–decided the case that decided the election . . . in her favor. Shocker. I was only 21 years old and thought that if you were honest, strategized well, and worked hard, you could win. Boy was I wrong. You just had to steal from your job, hire the judge, and, reportedly, have a relationship with him.
