A row of voting machines sits idle Tuesday at the Neighborhood Recreation Center polling site in North Las Vegas. Turnout for the municipal election was expected to hover around 13 percent, election officials said.
The Top 11 things overheard today at a poling place during the sparse-turnout municipal elections in Las Vegas:
11. Polling-place volunteer clearing throat.
10. Crickets -- or is that one cricket? -- chirping, and I cannot figure out from where.
9 Muted siren, far off in the distance.
8. “Did you read today’s Family Circus? Hysterical!”
7. Keys jangling from a janitor’s belt.
6. Whir and clunk of a Pepsi can dropping to the tray in the hallway vending machine.
5. Incessant clicking of a retractable ballpoint pen.
4. The timeless drone from the old multipurpose room clock.
3. Polling-place volunteer blowing nose.
2. The peeling away and reapplying of "I Voted" stickers for the 1,117th time.
1. “You sunk my battleship!”
This, more than anything else, shows that the Republican Party has an opening for 2010 if they get off their butts! I have said all along that the Democrats did not win on policy issues, but on a magnetic personality.
If the GOP will drop the religious right issues and concentrate solely on fiscal and securtiy issues they should be able to win any race here in Nevada.
Personally, I want to see Meghan McCain start running for Congress and be in position for the VP slot in 2020. I only wish she would move here and be qualified in time to run against Reid.
The only aspect more frustrating and upsetting than all of these "Real Americans" on both sides not taking time out of their busy days to vote is that even fewer will probably read this post!
I have a magnetic personality. Today I got stuck to the refrigerator in the break room ...
Funny post, Kats!
