crist

This weekend I’ll be putting up signs like this all over Vancouver, in the hope of influencing folks as before they fill out their ballots.

Each one is just two pieces of 11×17 paper with two lines of text on each, taped to a piece of cardboard. Then it’s just a matter of running around town with a staple gun, some zip ties, a few bungee cords, and a roll of duct tape. (I learned from the Master.)

If you’ve got some free time this weekend and don’t mind spending $5 at Kinkos printing out these signs and hanging a few yourself, please email me at nofishnonuts@hotmail.com and I’ll send you the document files.

Or better yet, make your own!

Viva La Revolución!

I want to vote for Crist but I am afraid it might produce the Ralph Nader effect and help get Delavar or Webb elected. Any opinions?

With the top two primary, it is a crapshoot no matter how you analyze it.

If you assume that the voters will vote more for Ds than Rs, say 55%, 45% in the primary and each candidate gets 50% of that, then both Crist and Baird go to the general.

The vote for Crist will only impact Baird’s chances of progressing to the general election if he gets so low a percentage that two of the other candidates beat him. If both Republicans beat him, he doesn’t deserve to go to the general and if a Republican and Cheryl beat him, we get one of the results we want.

Haven’t thought too much about this so if I am missing a likely scenario, please correct me. But the only risk I see is that both Rs each exceed the number of votes of both the Ds. In that case it is my opinion under democratic principles, the D candidates do not deserve to be elected anyway.
