Cindy McCain uses family business in desperate last-minute voter grab...




Clearly she's targeting my demographic -- the cheap weekend beer voter.

7. I think you have to wait for the responses before weighing the humor...

...this is one of those posts where the responses are more amusing than the OP.

3. This almost borders on illegal.
...almost.

It's similar to Micheal Moore giving away underwear and top raman to college students to vote. He never told them who to vote for, but the RNC jumped all over him and filed suit that he tried to buy their votes for Kerry.

Cindy McCain is teetering on that by offering Beer at a lower price to promote voting.

There's no case here, it's a stretch i know, but you can be sure if Obama had done something similar they'd be all over his ass.

5. I don't get it. Where is the offer for beer at a lower price in that photo?
All the photo seems to show is a plea for expanding the sale of beer to Sundays. Which, by the way, a lot of people in states with Blue Laws would like. And it's a state issue.

How is this sign connected to any presidential candidate?

8. "vote for sunday beer sales"
it's a little vague and the more i look at it, it does seem like odd wording that can be misread, but IF she was offering a lower price on beer to promote voting, it's no different that what Michael Moore did. Not saying it's wrong or right, just that the GOP attack Moore over this issue.
