“99% of them wouldn’t even know who she is.”

The sad truth.

I can remember...mid-80s...stationed in Germany, and the base got notified that two Senators were going to show up in 72 hours. The personnel office did some kind of record search to find people from their states, and they called around to ensure at least a dozen people would be at some breakfast at the chow hall.

So one of the guys they called was in my office, and he said ‘no’. Later, the First Sgt comes around and says there are so few of you from that state, that you NEED to go. My associate explained...he became a resident of the state upon entry into the military for tax purposes, and he really didn’t know nothing much about the state (even the capital, or the governor). He ended up going for this hour-long meeting. His impression was that the Senator was half-way senile.
