Wal-Mart boots...

My polling place here in Nashua is my neighborhood school. I so enjoy holding a sign at my polling place to see friends and neighbor's...bust some chops, and meet the supporters of the other canidates. But this election, I couldn't help from noticing the many outsiders. Sometime you tell an outsider by the cheap, recently purchased Wal-Mart winter boots that were styled by someone in Pakistan. The lack of any salt line was the clincher. These folks 'were not from around heyah'.

I'd ask where they were from and got: Virginia, Boston, Arkansas, and Washington. There were lots of folks from Arkansas that sported a southern accent. Hillary supporters all. They were holding 'Arkansas Traveler' signs or something like that, to express their pride and sacrifice for Hillary. But, boy oh boy, they HATE Huckabee...called him a lazy, no good oaf that sat in his corner office for more than 10 years and did absolutely nothing....a real slacker.

I asked how he got to have such a strange number of years in office (10.5 years), and the Arkansan explained that "when "Dear Billy" resigned to serve the country in '92, Lt. Governor Jim Guy Tucker took over. Then, in 1996 after Jim Guy was railroaded (read convicted of fraud, Whitewater related), Lt. Governor Mike Huckabee, a damn Republican, was sworn in...and did not get a damn thing accomplished."

Huckabee in turn, actually served out his term, and you know the rest of the story. What a slacker.
