So Angry W/ Washington That They Forgot To Vote

Sez The NYT:

Mr. Perry’s campaign was buoyed Tuesday by a strong victory over his chief Republican rival, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. He won 51 percent of the vote to the senator’s 30 percent, in a race where turnout was 11 percent — more than twice as high as usual.

The strong showing of Debra Medina, a third candidate allied with the Tea Party movement who is more conservative than Mr. Perry on some issues and who received 18 percent of the vote, reflected the surging popular discontent on the right.

Thannks to the paper of record for fully explaining the stats. "11%?" Of ...? Registered Republicans? All registered voters? Either way, not much turn-out for a state just steaming, you hear, steaming at Washington & The Gubmint.

    On the other had, when you're sure everyone around you will make the dick vote, why show up and add your own?

    "Why Bother, Indeed?" Editor Notes:

    Great, another advantage to being a dick voter.
