“I’m voting for Kerry, because his t-shirts are cooler.”
I honestly, swear on a stack of phone books, heard a woman say that this past weekend. I was standing towards the back of the mosh pit at the Nickelback concert at Bumbershoot, and I turned to see a girl with a big green Mohawk sitting with a guy with really big pants and lots of piercings. I smiled at them, assuming they were the source of the interesting comment I just heard.
The voice that uttered the prior Kerry comment went on to laud the buttons that Kerry’s campaign was selling, and it did not come from the lovely Mohawk girl. It came from the two older ladies standing next to her. Shame on me for assuming.
Although the comment made me wince at its severity in judgment, it also made me ponder: do you think that there are a majority of people that vote that way? Is this a market that Kerry (or Bush) should corner in order to win this election? The “People who really don’t care about your stance as long as your t-shirts are cool” demographic?
