Ok, this should make you laugh. It made me laugh and made me feel better about my political ignorance... One of my best friends Ethan was here in Charlotte last weekend & we hung out & grabbed some lunch at The Fox and the Hound. We were watching some football & eating some wings & philly cheese steak when a commercial for either Obama or McCain (can't remember which) came on the massive screens...
Me: "So, Ethan, who you gonna vote for? Or are you gonna vote?"
Ethan: "I'm not sure yet. I still want to find out what all the other candidates say about the issues."
Me: "What other candidates?"
Ethan: "You know, all the other guys besides the main 2, Obama & McCain. I want to learn what they're about before I vote."
Me: "Dude, there's only 2."
Ethan: "I know there's only 2 big name guys, but I want to give all those other guys who are running for president a fair shake."
Me: "There are no other guys. They're the only 2!"
Ethan: "So you're telling me that when I go to the polls to vote in November that there will only be 2 guys to vote for?"
Me: "YES."
Now I don't feel so bad about my lack of political knowledge.

just so you know, patrick. i just voted and had the option of voting for 6 or 7 different tickets... not just two...
looks like your boy, ethan wasnt so wrong after all haha
dude, i voted today too & there were only 3 guys to choose from - the big 2 & some joker named bob barr. but honestly there were only 2 dudes running - everyone agrees on that. 2 guys in the debates and everything... just 2 peeps running.
we could have all written your name in technically as a 3rd candidate :) that would be fun. kris h. for pres baby!
