Here Halloween '04


*+Trinity Strikes Again+*

With only a few days till election we changed our idea of being the Marx brothers for Halloween to being our presidental candidates & a poll-taker. Alyssa dressed up as John Kerry, with a make-shift Boston Red Sox hat and red tie, Ashley went and George W. Bush wearing a cowboy hat. Larissa, after refusing to dress in red and carry around a Heinz ketchup bottle, became our poll-taker.

We had several ideas to get peoples votes: To tell them to give candy to whoever they were voting for ... To give more candy to who they were voting for ... Or just ask them. We just asked. Though some people did give more candy to either Kerry or Bush. :}
Below are some of the comments we received...

Kerry

"I'm for Kerry. I'm for Kerry.I'm for Kerry. ... But now that you mention it, whose ahead in your polls?" "Well, Bush is now." "OOOOO NOOOOOO!"
"Kerry, your my man so I'm going to give you something extra." [ in which Alyssa received two old Valentines heart candies.]
"Hey, guy with the Kerry hat"
"I don't want to see that face on my doorstep. I don't want to see Bush either. O no!!"
"Your at the wrong house, o wait... there's Bush."
"I'm voting Kerry, KRISTIN, who you voting for? Kerry? Yea, but my husband will probably vote for Bush just to... make me mad..."


Most people were good about it and others just preferred not to say. Anyway, here are the results! 10% were undecided (how you can be undecided 2 days before election & with such different persons I'll never know)... 15% preferred not to say... 25% were for John Kerry... and 50% were for George Bush.

Bush

"Hi, Mr. President"
"I don't know why you'd want to be seen with that face on. It just make people dead." [um, no comment]
"I'm a Republican."
"I'm for George W. Bush."
"Hey, George!"
"Bush all the way."
"uh... Bush... O, good. It's good to see someone who is too, by the way, how are the results coming?" "Bush is in the lead." "O, good, 'cause I get scared watching the news!"
"I dunno, who do you think I should vote for?" "Bush." "Yea, I think you're right."

A lot of times people did give more candy to either person. But the best reaction was from one house voting Bush.
"Yea, were taking a poll so we're wondering who your voting for."
"Bush! haha thats great! Great original idea! Here wait, Dan c'meer you gotta see this! haha"
After which all the adults in the house appeared from different windows laughing and cheering.
"Here, Mr. President." said the man, giving Ashley two extra Reeses peanutbutter cups.
Yea, that was our favorite house, even as we were leaving one lady said... "Well you look better then him."
We weren't sure what she meant.

Shocker!

John Kerry was even seen telling a undecided voter to vote for Bush. Never thought you'd hear such a thing from a democrat?! Well, think again, buddy! :}
