Voting Like a MoFo
From the heart of RI Monthly's Best Place for Republicans comes Bil's 2006 election spectacular! This year we'll be riding the zeitgeist and voting for Democrats, voting for independents, voting for, yup, Republicans, screwing the Indians (again) and maybe, just maybe, Keeping Chafee.
Despite being completely inundated with teevee ads, I have to say I enjoyed this election season in RI. It got a little sloppy, but nothing disgusting.
First off, Charlie Fogarty won me over. I don't mind the Don, and I think he's been good for the state counterbalancing the state legislature. Charlie took the right course, though, running as "same low corruption, more getting stuff done." I like it. The gubenatorial ads were probably the best of the season, too, with Fogarty starting funny, then answering anti-Fogarty ads with class. So I'm voting Charlie tomorrow. That said, if Don Carcieri wins, I think we'll be in pretty good hands.
For Lt. Governor, I'm ditching my boy Bob Healey and his Cool Moose party. Honestly, I'm getting a little sick of him. If you want to be a candidate, well then be one. Less ego, more substance! So I'm going with Elizabeth Roberts, who pretty much everyone agrees kicks ass.
I'm not voting for Patrick Lynch. I just can't. I think the Station Nightclub families can be a little… over the top sometimes, but they're right on this one. Lynch doesn't deserve his job back. Now, can I vote for Bill "his name says it all" Harsch? It's going to be a voting booth decision.
Coming up, our federal races, and all the yea or nay madness we call: Referenda 2006!
