Just called my local GOP to order yard-signs...
for Chalabi: when he said "Who?", I said, "You guys are still supporting Allawi? I thought you'd bail after he accused you of negligence!"

Then he said "Huh?"

So I said, "Don't tell me you support Al-Sadir?"

Around this point he hungup but it was fun while it lasted.

Tut-tut

1. We should have all called for yard signs...
Anything to waste the GOP money would be good...the signs go straight into the fireplace.

2. Actually they charge for them

3. WHOA!!! He called back!
It took a few minutes but he called me back and was *very* nice: he said he really only handles local candidates but that he and his wife are both voting for Kerry! He said eight more died soldiers today, he's sick of it and he can't believe the detached view of Bush/Cheney. He also said "Bush is going to lose -- "

He sounded very sincere and I assured him I was only joking around.

Caller ID -- go fig!

Anyhow, more glad than ever that I pulled such a childish prank!

4. amazing story (the call back)
If I were so upset by the top of our ticket, as if - we nominated zellfromhell - I wouldn't be able to bring myself to work at HQs, even for local candidates.

8. I'm surprised they let him work there
"You're either with us or against us"
They must not know he's voting for Kerry.

5. cool story
i am tempted to call my gop local and ask where the K/E signs are. Our local dem group put 50 signs up in the area, 3/4 were down within one night ant the rest down within 3 days.

7. Interesting phenom:
Here in CT, I see quite a few yards adorned with the local GOP candidates signs, yet the Bush/Cheney signs are missing.

I don't think it is vandalism (at least in my immediate neighborhood).

Anyone else see a similar trend?

I think Kerry is going to win big - in a way that they can't steal it again{ it feels like 1992 all over again - very exciting!
