A few Americans ignored poker and the November Nine Lives to vote early for the best campaigner (McCain or Obama).  But who cares about campaign platforms when there are other people to consider? Presidential campaigns are filled with "ifs and buts" and if "ifs and buts" were "candy and nuts" then everyone would have a Merry Christmas.  So, follow the Sixteen Candles advice and be a smart ass rather than a dumb ass by doing some history research before clicking the ticket. You don’t want to end up like the early voters who took the time to ignore poker and were like…

"WTF? Who are all these other people on the ballot and how long will this take? Screw this… who cares about the other people because I need to make the 4pm tourney."

Uh, well… some of the names are those who slide in the sneak attack stuff onto the poor little bills stuck up on Capital Hill.  So, quickly put some Janet Jackson in your head and ask your Congressman "What have you done for me lately?"

If you don’t care about Congress or the three branches cause for headache then just vote:

1. The same as your peers
2. The same as your peers then blog about it like you have a poli sci degree
3. The opposite of your peers but lie when they ask
4. Allow the media’s prediction to manipulate influence your vote (just don’t forget they were wrong the last two elections).
5. For the tail who is wagging the dog
