Ummmm ... Sorry to be the bearer of this news. 51% of Americans have never voted...ever. No one has been elected by even 51% of the REGISTERED voters. More votes were cast for American Idol (though the actual # of people may be much less) than for the position of President.
All we as Americans can ever hope for is for a majority of the popular vote to place a politician, but some presidents do not even have that...
Moral: Make sure you vote, that your vote counts & that everyone you know votes. Personally, I do not how to go about getting others to vote, but it makes a good sound bite.
PS if you missed Sicko at the Palace last weekend (like we did), it is still there for this weekend:
Friday & Saturday, 24 & 25 at 7:30pm
Sunday, August 26 at 2:30pm
Monday & Tuesday, August 27 & 28 at 7:30pm
Also check out their great line up of entertainment at www.hilopalace.com
