"Pick nose! Pick butt! Pick Kerry." Sounds like a particular politician to me. Personally, I think that what he's doing, while funny, is completely inappropriate according to the intents of campaign law and he should be arrested and a ruling made. Because while I agree with his intents, he's bein

What are the laws governing this sort of thing? Am i allowed to attempt to bribe votes if i want to? Can I legally offer my neighbors 100 bucks a piece to vote for Kerry or Bush? The absurdness of this case all depends on what the law says. If you can't bribe votes, then barbeque the asshole. Othe
