how many?

Depending how it is taken a better question to a Presidential candidate is how many bikes do you have and not how many houses do you have? When I am long and dead my vice of ‘many bicycles’ will be served well as some college kid in the year 2090 rides a 2007 Madone 6.9 to school and it is still considered a light bike at 14.4 pounds...but a house; I susppose ‘what is your carbon footprint?’ is a better question. How many McCain? A glutton for punishment and a running mate with a journalism degree. Call me crazy but I hold my elected officials to a higher degree of integrity and smarts, unless they are the Mayor of Detroit.
Now go vote but ask yourself this question after a crappie cross race, a lackluster kiss, a lay-off…ask yourself why the most educated people in the country…the people who have spent the most time in higher education, not the richest, but the highest number of PhDs…happen to live in California and New York. Why. Why do they. Why do they vote Democratic continually in the Presidential election? What is it that they know that the red states don’t know? What is it that the smartest people in the country know that is different? I am slightly smarter than the average bear however I know just enough to ask the right questions. Look that history up. Vote. Buy a bike and get your mind off that kiss or bad day at work. Good luck John…not really, however you need all you can muster. I think I’ll ride my bike to go vote. Which house will you be in? I can’t wait to redistribute some of your wealth. How about a bike for a house? Do some yoga for god sake.
