As for taking people to the polls from nursing homes...heh...gotta anecdote.

But first....when it comes to old people, we got it down pat here in Sussex county. Our average population is something like 62 years old. I’m sure the Tea Party is transporting people.

Once I worked for a local yokel candidate...true story. Was calling up folks to get them to vote for my guy...you know, like you do.

Once place I call, I ask for the guy whose name was on my call sheet. The lady answered, she sounds kind of puzzled. Again I ask to speak to Mr. Jones.

“You do know this is a home for people with severe brain trauma?”

Well no, I didn’t know that. Whoever gave me the call sheet didn’t tell me this but I dunno, I guess he didn’t know. And whatever the brain injury, this guy I asked for WAS a registered Republican and he did give this as his phone number.

But I get tongue-tied but you gotta know my wit never lets me down.

I tell the lady, a nurse, never mind. Obviously this place filled with brain injured folks is all Democrat.

I’m not sure if the nurse lady on the other end was amused but I had all the co-callers in the room with me laughing their heads off.

ROFL. That’s a wonderful story.
My son called, so I am replying a little tardy.
