Happy Election Day! Please make sure you get out and vote. That is, if you haven’t already (unfortunately, my state doesn’t believe in early voting… le sigh).
If you need some inspiration and you’ve seen enough of the Declare Yourself commercials, here’s Lady Kier (the head diva from Deee-Lite) in one of MTV’s Rock The Vote commercials from 1992. Enjoy!
Ken Duberstein, Ronald Reagan’s former chief of staff, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president this week, according to CNN. The decision was largely based on former Sec. of State Colin Powell’s endorsement earlier last month.
“Well let’s put it this way – I think Colin Powell’s decision is in fact the good housekeeping seal of approval on Barack Obama,” Duberstein told CNN.
Let’s see here… Powell caught a whole lot of flak for backing Obama, including being compared to Benedict Arnold for going against the Republican Party and being accused of supporting Obama only because both men are black.
So will Duberstein receive the same sort of harsh criticism for his endorsement? Or do the Republicans only reserve such vitriol for when the black members of their party decide to break ranks?
Since voter fatigue is starting to set in for most people (me included – I just want the election to be done already!), maybe Obama and McCain really should just settle the score with a dance-off and call it a day. There’s probably not much else they can say or do to win over undecided voters at this point, anyway.
