So today the hubs and I went to volunteer at a polling place in Mesa. We were there standing 75 feet from the polling entrance holding a sign and handing out cards in support of a good friend of ours as the good ol' residents of Mesa went in to cast their votes. Yes, this is soooo out of character for the hubs and I to begin with, but hey, we were doing our best to be "there" for our friend that was running for Constable.
Let me tell you a few things that I learned from this experience:
- some people are just CRAZY.
- some people need SMACKED.
- did I mention some people are just CRAZY?!
- the hubs and I are a good team.
- the hubs and I SUCK at campaigning. hahahaha.
- standing in the rain holding a political sign soaking wet while the opposing party runs for cover- PRICELESS.
There we stood, Team hubs & I standing our ground come hell or high water (including lightning, wind and heat) rooting for our friend in his noble efforts to try and overturn a very prominent LDS family that had formerly ran unopposed.
Damn it I am really hoping my friend wins this race and proves that typical church bond doesn't always win all. For the next 30 minutes I shall keep my fingers and toes crossed for him.
So, what happened? The suspense is killing me! :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately he did not win the election. We are super bummed because he worked so incredibly hard and he truly was the better candidate. The other guy has not been doing his job for years, yet our tax payer dollars are paying him a really nice salary. Stupid stupid voters.
