well, do you?
It doesn't help that his name sounds vaguely like a synonym for deception: mendacious Menendez.

Erik Markle, one of the people handing out literature for Ehrlich, who is seeking reelection, and Steele, the current lieutenant governor who is campaigning to replace retiring Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D), said he was recruited at a homeless shelter in Philadelphia.After a two-hour bus ride to Maryland, Markle said the workers were greeted early this morning by first lady Kendel Ehrlich, who thanked them as they were outfitted in T-shirts and hats with the logo for Ehrlich's reelection campaign. Nearly all of those recruited, Markle said, are poor and black. Workers traveled to Maryland in at least seven large buses.
Ehrlich's GOP ticketmate, Senate candidate Michael Steele, is also listed as a Democrat on the flyer.

I take a ballot from a poll worker, walk over to a stand that resembles a podium. It has blue risers on it forming a topless box around you for privacy. Velcroed to the podium is a pen resembling a sharpie. When I'm done connecting the arrows, I personally feed it into the ballot box through a device that unfortunately looks like a paper shredder.
I'd like to try one of those booths with the curtains just so I could vote with my dick or do a line off the lever or something.

Virginia voters receiving robo-calls from "The Elections Commission" stating that they'll be arrested if they show up to vote tomorrow.
I seriously think that they should track down the people doing this and execute them for treason.

In New York, where polls suggest that Democrats are about to sweep the statewide offices, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton reported that her daughter, Chelsea, had run into trouble trying to cast her vote in Manhattan.
Greeting early morning commuters at the train station in Chappaqua, N.Y., Mrs. Clinton said that when her daughter went to a polling site at 20th Street on the West Side, workers told her that her name was not listed in a book of registered voters.
Investigation found that book containing her name had been sent to the wrong district, so she could not enter the polling booth. But election officials offered her an affidavit vote, similar to the provisional votes used in other states, according to John Ravitz, executive director of the Board of Elections.
“Her vote will count,” he said.

Man sets himself on fire on KennedyDrivers watched as he dies near 'Flame' sculpture
November 4, 2006BY ANNIE SWEENEY Staff ReporterAs horrified Friday-morning commuters watched, a man apparently doused himself with gasoline and lit himself on fire along the Kennedy Expy. near a 25-foot-tall Loop sculpture titled "Flame of the Millennium."A homemade sign was found near his charred body that read, "Thou Shalt Not Kill," said State Police Lt. Lincoln Hampton. Police are reviewing a videotape that also was found near the body.
The death of the man, whose identity has not been released, was being treated as a suicide, authorities said.
Witnesses told police they saw the man ignite himself just before 7 a.m. near the southbound Kennedy's Ohio Street exit, Hampton said.
The Chicago Fire Department was called to the scene to help extinguish the fire, which was set at the base of the seven-ton sculpture along the Kennedy.
An Illinois Department of Transportation worker was among those to witness the incident, according to a preliminary report.
A can of clear liquid smelling like gasoline also was recovered, the report said.

A man who reportedly believed Republicans were conspiring to steal today's election entered an Allentown polling site, signed in and proceeded to smash the screen of one of the electronic voting machines with a metal cat paperweight, poll volunteers said.
Michael Young, 43, of 375 Auburn St., will be charged with felony criminal mischief and tampering with voting machines, according to Ronald Manescu, chief of investigations for Allentown police.
Police gave no motive, but a source said Young, a registered Independent, believed Republicans had conspired to win the election by using electronic ballots. This is the first time electronic machines are being widely used in a Pennsylvania general election.
"He smashed it with the cat's ears," said volunteer Jim Govostis, who watched the incident unfold at Raker Center, a nursing home owned by Good Shepherd, around 12:30 p.m.
Young, who brought the paperweight with him, then sat down, hung his head and waited for police, who arrested him without incident.
"He came in here very peaceably and showed his ID," said volunteer Gladys Pezoldt, "then he got on the machine and just snapped…He was immediately remorseful. When the police came, he got up, turned around and put his hands behind his back."
Lehigh County Board of Elections Chief Clerk Stacy J. Sterner said votes recorded on the machine were saved. More than 130 people had voted at the site by the time of the incident.
"The good news is that even though the machine is broken, the votes are not lost on the memory card. They have them in custody at the voter registration office," Sterner said.
Sterner has worked in the voter registration office for 19 years. "Nothing can top this," she said.
The $5,000 machine will have to be replaced, Sterner said. It was one of two in the building.
Volunteer Shirley Rossetti said Young never spoke as he smashed the screen. "He did a job on it, didn't he?" she said. "It's frightening, because in this day and age, you just never know."
