It's probably overkill, but we don't care. We are now fully engaged in shameless pandering. We had a small crew of kids over at the apartment assembling cards, candy and ribbons. We paid them in pizza and soda. I bet my boss wishes he could pay me in pizza and soda and get me to produce 1/2 as much. It'll never happen.
Next she finished the t-shirts, also pretty snazzy, if we say so ourselves. And we do.
And the buttons have all been assembled and are ready to be distributed.
Between all these things, plus the bookmarks , magnets and TATTOOS (They are sooo awesome...See previous post to relive the excitement!), I'd say our campaign materials, which we started on Saturday, look pretty swanky.
The only unfortunate thing is the video. We got the testimonials done, and her boyfriend, to make a long story short, committed to being able to assist, and then kept us waiting in vain, until we ran out of time and had to proceedwith our other projects. That's another post, another time, about life lessons, unmet expectations and being responsible for our own happiness. But she feels accomplished! She's going to test the reaction to the giveaways tomorrow, people will be wearing the shirts, using the bookmarks, displaying tattoos, and so forth. If we need more, we'll make more...If she doesn't win, NO ONE can say she didn't try her best. I think she'll be ok, regardless of the outcome, but I'd love to see her win.

Did they have a debate? Or this one of those whoever-buys-the-most-votes-wins scenarios?
... and how do I get one of those cool bookmarks?
Did she win?!
Elections were postponed until MONDAY, due to the teacher being called away unexpectedly. One person has dropped out, claiming they wanted to vote for Dolores instead, and it's possible that another may get dropped for "dirty politics". It would appear that "Tenuka", who is very jealous of Dolores's Shameless Pandering Campaign 2008, said "Well, just because I didn't make buttons, or T-shirts or bookmarks, doesn't mean I forgot about y'all...I just don't have to bribe you for votes..." (She DID however, pass out candy, so what does that mean?)
THe problem came when she accosted people who said they were voting for Dolores, saying, "You're just voting for her, because she sucked your dick."
Our candidate, who seemingly has a healthy approach to this whole thing, informed a teacher of the issue, and it's being investigated. She says she's not dealing with this, and besides, "Tenuka is the big expert on dick sucking, anyway." (she said this to us, not to students.)
So, we won't know until Tuesday whether or not she wins although she is cautiously confident. She says she did her best and if she doesn't win this year, she's prepared to come back full force next year. I REALLY hope she wins. :)
