Word of the day

electioneering

noun
1. persuasion of voters in a political campaign
2. the campaign of a candidate to be elected [syn: campaigning]

We went to vote for the presidential primary today. There were signs up that said "No electioneering beyond this point." I have seen those kinds of sings up before at polling places, but they had said "campaigning" instead of electioneering.

Also on the ballot was whether or not we want a new casino in town. I'm more interested in that outcome than I am the primary right now. I really don't want the casino here, and I'm not impressed much with any of the candidates left in the race.

  1. I don't want the new casino either. But if it does make it (and gets built before we move off), I will probably want to eat there.
