Today, we saw Dave waving at people from the corner of Marydale and Kenai Spur. Chloe remarked that she had never seen anything like that in France. She was more impressed when I pointed out that he was someone she had met at church yesterday. I mentioned that early voting was currently open, and would be until election day on October 1st. She wondered if he was going to be out there all week.
Meanwhile, I pointed out the myriad signs that Tyson has put around the area. She said that she had noticed them already because they are everywhere. As we talked about it, I realized that I don't know if I would have the same tenacity when it comes to trying to get elected.
I also don't know if I could deal with some of the negativity and outright lies that have been spread about these good men. I understand disagreeing with someone due to political differences, but personal attacks and false attacks are some of the worst parts of our politics. Everyone seems to hate these sorts of things, but they must work, because we keep seeing them time and again.
I hope that each of them succeed in their endeavors to get elected.
