Actually, I can imagine that. Here in MA, we voted for Dead "the swimmer" Kennedy, repeatedly. In my work office, I recall conversations with peers - they knew he was turd material, yet voted for him anyways for "bringing back the bacon", and would laugh about it. This is why we can't have nice things.
I’ll raise the stakes by mentioning the City of Detroit voting for Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (now in prison) and now the State of Michigan voting for a leading outspoken unrestricted abortion advocate Gov. Gretchen Witmer (phooey).
