81. Yep. Pretty much that's what you have to do.

Assume they're trying to roll you.

I'm noticing that here. We've got local elections next month. There's a guy running against Eric Garcetti for L.A. mayor. Nowhere on his campaign literature OR his website does it make clear whether he's a Dem or a CON. I called the campaign number and got voicemail. It MATTERS to me. And I said so in the message I left.

So with no other information to clarify things, I'm forced to assume that the other guy (name is Mitchell Schwartz) is a CON. I noticed that awhile ago with various campaigns and campaign literature. Maybe because this is a blue state and L.A. is true blue, seems there are what I call "stealth candidates" whose literature and website and sloganeering talks about all these great wonderful and harmless-sounding things. But they don't identify what party they're from. And since they don't, I automatically assume they're trying to pull something over on the unsuspecting. CON-JOB ALERT!

I WILL NOT VOTE GOP. Not now, not next month, not next year, not four years from now, NOT EVER.
