McConnell Pays Expenses if You Show Up, Cheer - Newser (which IMHO isn't politically biased but is more tabloid.)

Quote:
Mitch McConnell is in what the Courier-Journal of Louisville calls the "fight of his political life" against Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, with the newspaper's latest poll showing them in a statistical dead heat. No surprise, then, that the Senate majority leader hopes to have his campaign events jam-packed with loud and happy supporters. So much so that that the state Republican party is offering to bus supporters around with McConnell for three days this week, with meals, lodging, and transportation included, reports the Hill.

"You would join local supporters in contributing to an enthusiastic atmosphere at each of his events," reads an email sent out to prospective campaign groupies. Democrats accuse McConnell of trying to "purchase grassroots support" and say it smacks of desperation. Crowds at Grimes' events tend to be strong and energetic, but she continues to be dogged by her ties to President Obama in a state where his approval ratings are anemic. She served as a delegate to the 2012 Democratic National Convention, for example, but refuses to say whether she voted for the president, notes MSNBC. Bill Clinton was back in the state this afternoon campaigning for her.
Speaker McConnell, I am retired and on a limited budget, I would love 3 - 4 all expenses payed days. Will you pay round trip airfare from WA as well?

No. Just hopefully amused, perhaps even employed.

Seriously if they pay my airfare I will.

I'll even cheer enthusiastically. I used to act in my wonderfully misspent youth, I can pull it off no problem.

I just haven't seen how to apply.

Fu, you don't have to vote in every race on the ballot.

You can leave blanks you know.

People who do not vote the entire ballot should not vote at all.

Seriously, it's not hard to vote on the other races and/or issues on the ballot....
