is that a ballot in your pocket?

Just wanted to remind you to check ledger-enquirer.com/elections for updates throughout the night.

Unless, of course, you're hooking up.

Don't think I'm making light of the political process: It's socially acceptable to hit on women while using lines involving the word "stimulus" tonight. The Frisky even has this guide for how to get a date on election day.

(An excerpt: Despite the obvious, do not refer to any candidate as “sexy.” It’s awkward to call an elected official hot when you’re hitting on the guy standing next to you.)

These sites, meanwhile, offer evidence of the rise in political pickup lines -- even if it's just for one day.

Looks like your stars-and-stripes themed thong isn't that tacky after all.
