Political joke

[rivkat]

Could be read two ways: "I'll bet you this. If Mary Poppins and Dick Tracy vote on Election Day, they'll vote for John Kerry."

But who will get Lex Luthor's vote?

I do wonder about my interpretations of characters' political views. I always thought Scully was a Republican and Mulder didn't vote. In Smallville, I'm guessing almost everyone's registered Republican, though I wouldn't be surprised if Lex thinks he would have voted for Perot and McCain if given the chance. What do you all think? Is Martha a closet pinko? (Skip obvious Lana joke.)

Ah, okay, I did mention having to think about it. My grandparents are farmers, but in Virginia, so I know it's different from Kansas, but they're also old school Catholic Democrats, so I don't, generally, 100% know where I'm coming from (my grandfather is from an old school New York family). I know what I believe, and I know that Virginia has it's own fair share of farmer Republicans (my own relatives included), Virginia is a black and white state - you are, or you aren't, you know, but you don't, you agree, or not, but in presidental elections? Virginia votes Republican. I mean, we had the first black governor, but then we're a not so much with the important electoral college votes. I keep hoping, because I do love VA, that I'll not be embarrassed by my state's politics, but I generally am. We lobby the state regularly (I work for local government) and get ignored. It's a losing battle, but I try to, um, help? Make the vote more even?

I don't know. It's unlikely that I'll cast a single vote for anyone elected. But hey, the first time I ever voted, it was against Ollie North, and Virginia *didn't* elect him, so that's something.

And eh, I'm being all repeating myself. I don't know if farmers are Democrats in Kansas. I think they should be, but what I think and what people do live in separate worlds.

I'm hopeful - hey, even Virginia's polling as "slightly Bush" nowadays! That's sooper hopeful!
