Welcome to the world of politics... (Poli - Many, Tics - Blood sucking creatures)
They will do anything to get their named marked on the ballot.

Just like how McCain chose Palin in attempt to reel in the female voters, despite the fact that the public didn't (and for the most part still doesn't) know anything about her...

^-^ Too bad that America doesn't like to actually do research about their candidates other than watching those political ads in the commercial breaks...
