Lauderdale Votes for Non-Obama Candidates, Democracy Ignored in Non-Twitter Format

Categories: Morning Juice
Voters in Fort Lauderdale will elect a mayor and an entire city council today, while over in Fort Myers, President Obama is speaking. Approximately four dozen or so Fort Lauderdale residents

are expected to turn temporarily away from their Twitter accounts to vote, and, oh, over on the west coast, thousands waited in line just to get a ticket to hear the King of Hope speak. On the line in Fort Lauderdale are some important city issues and such, while, oh yeah, OBAMA!

It may be clear by now, but I'm not exactly up on the issues at stake in Fort Lauderdale. But I do know Jay Leno-style facts about some of the candidates, like that one of them says he's in the Army but is actually a slacker -- i.e., retired. Another really likes the porn. And another sounds like he hangs out with Snow White. But I do know that if you love democracy then you should get out there and -- OBAMA!

After the jump, more signs that democracy is super cool, kids!
