election season makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. if someone made the political equivalent of a christmas sweater, i would probably wear it, cardigan-style.
anyway. i woke up on super tuesday feeling merry/jolly/festive/bloated. and i spent my lunch hour stalking voters at a polling place on wilshire with my notepad and pen. making my lurking all the more awkward was the fact that the polling place was an elementary school.
whatever. point is, i have a huge boner for this election, and i’ve been collecting various delightful quotes and photos over the past few months, so i thought i would share, even though some of them are obviously dated at this point.
1. The Opinionator surveys reactions to the Democratic debate and pulls up THIS GEM: “Republicans consider Obama to be the girl Democrats will date and Hillary the one they will marry.” Forget that conventional wisdom has moved on and step back for a moment, please. We’re playing the date/marry/f— game, right? That begs the obvious question: Which candidate do Democrats want to bone, hmm?
2. The Los Angeles Times gathers ridiculous quotes from Clinton rally-goers in Missouri. A sample: “At a Sunday rally in Bridgeton, Mo., more than 1,000 people crowded into a union hall to hear her. One man craned his neck for a glimpse. “I see her bangs. She’s pretty.”
3. The MSM officially recognize the potency of the “Nascar constituency.” Dangerous? Perhaps. Two words: yard inflatables. 4. 5.

I cast my vote based on quality of hairstyle, and I appreciate the LA Times attention to the details that matter most to me.
