Had I known that
Sarah Palin would be at a $500 a plate fund-raiser in Boca Raton (a mere 1 hour and change from my home) on Monday night, I would've broken my piggy bank instantly.
Alas, I found out only when it was underway.
However, the Governor did take in the sights of our beautiful State today, as she goes on a 2-day tour of this suddenly losing battleground territory. She'll probably be watching the Presidential Town Hall today, at some Floridian locale.
Incidentally,
October 6 was the last day to register to vote in Florida. I am happy to report that I personally picked up forms for 4 people, including two of my porters, and they should be registered to vote. I also double-checked if my neighbour had submitted hers, and she said, yes, thanks for the reminder anyway.
Here's the kicker. Not all of these people are voting for
McCain. My neighbour is, but I suspect my two porters are not.
Did I actually help the loyal opposition by my actions? Probably.
May remind you that I used to be a Clerk of a polling station, and for me, the most important consideration here is not for WHOM you vote, but that YOU VOTE.
Although, I confess, that this attitude has won me one convert to the Republican side already.
I'll paraphrase a friend: If you're not pressuring me, that's more than my Democratic friends have done with their constant "
Vote for Obama!" implorations, and even questioning me about racism..., at one point.
Look, at the end of the day, I stand for more than just a Party. If one is too partisan, it has a deleterious affect, even if those you are seeking to win over won't admit it to you immediately.
The only time I get to show people how intensely I feel about this election, is actually on my blog, Sundries. Other than that, easy does it.
Having said that...some photos of the
'Cuda in Florida!
I noticed the oversized bandaid the day after the Vice-Presidential debate. Wonder how she cut herself?
And check out the kwazy Swarovsky crystal US flag dog tags! Flashy. Dare I say it, she resembles her purported supporter, Dolly Parton.
If you think I sound unusually sour, hang on to your britches!
Okay. Okay. I will finally level a criticism of Palin on my blog. Are you ready?
What
is she wearing? That is an atrocious Directoire white blouse, and
my God are those black Capri pants?? She looks like a college gridiron player. Catastrophe.
The effortless affection towards each other of
Senator Joe Lieberman and Governor Sarah Palin. So sweet.
A little bit better on the fashion front, though I've seen this unremarkable power blue combination suit before. A little too early 90s for my taste though.
She is easily outdressed by our Governor, Charlie Crist, who is even more elegant than Senator Obama. He reminds me of a pampered, sleek greyhound.
That's Governor Crist's fiancée, Carole Rome, seen emerging from the jet into Palm Beach International Airport, by the way. Not that most Floridians could pick her out of a lineup.
ADDED: Babalublog's own Cigar Mike attended the Boca Raton fundraiser! Lucky lucky guanajo.
Here is his blogpost about it, including
photographs.
