Slog - Comments on "Dudes for Sarah" http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/dudes_for_sarah The New York Times has a front-page piece today about the "Palin Dude" phenomenon—all the fine young men flocking to Palin rallies around the country to cheer their "baby." While there are plenty of women, including wives and daughters of male fans, at Ms. Palin’s appearances, they acknowledge they are outnumbered. “This is not a ladies campaign,” declared Linda Teegan at a rally in Weirs Beach, N.H., on Wednesday. She was taking a crowd snapshot. “There seem to be lots and lots of guys here,” she said. “I’d guess 70-30, maybe 65-35, men to women. It’s quite noticeable to me.”...

I almost feel bad for R, I, C and K -- except that I've just taken another look at them and gotten over that. At least C has some potential in that broody, dangerous "I'm a potential serial killer" kind of way.

Any woman with any sense would look at those guys and go "Baaaaad neeeeews! Staaaay awaaaay!" Even I couldn't fuck them for Obama.

So after reading that NYT piece this morning, we were out driving to bagels here in Michigan. We were driving behind two guys that looked like good ol' boys, in a huge pick-up truck. And what was on the back bumper? "OBAMA/BIDEN '08." Specifically it was a bumper sticker put out by a union (electrical, I think).

That Joe the Plumber (i.e., Sam the unlicensed hack) must have sent the last union guys firmly into the Obama camp. Anyway, it felt really good to see two guys like that, in a truck like that, openly supporting Obama.

The world has changed, and Obama has helped with that.

"She looks like the Sunday comics
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds

The others....not good lays. Maybe OK for gay guys but for me as a woman, I have no confidence that the fuck would be anything but forgettable.

Maybe a guy could "pound some sense into them," but no way would I let them near me. First, ew, they're ugly. Second, ew, they're stupid. Third, it'd be that "straight guy, stinking drunk, partially hard, take forever, boring in-and-out" that we all experienced at least once in college and learned fast to avoid.

I guess I'd peg them if it would make a difference.

I remember how after Palin all us Hillary supporters were blasted, because apparently we were going to mindlessly elect the other female in the race.

yea...aparently it is not the vaginas that are mindless ;)

C is apparently the love child of Tom Hanks and Robby Benson (with apologies to Hanks).

Guy in the lower right in the technicolor fag sweater is either giving a floppy-fingered wave, or shooting some beat-off video for later.
