California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has admitted to at best infrequent voting in the past. In fact, she didn’t register as a Republican until 2007. According to the Sacramento Bee, who reviewed her voting record, she not only didn’t regularly vote in six states, she didn’t even register in most of them.
Her most recent excuse, after pointing out that Sonny Bono didn’t vote regularly before he was elected, is that she was busy with her career, her husband’s career, and her family.
Just for the heck of it, here’s ten more possible reasons:
(And before anyone puts this down to commie pinko tendencies….you haven’t read my Gavin Newsom and Jerry Brown jokes.)
10. The dog ate my absentee ballot.
9. Moved so often I forget what state I was in.
8. Election day fell on the same day the Ebay auction closed for Governor Sarah Palin’s jet.
7. Same as Steve Martin with his taxes – “I FORGOT.”
6. Too involved with business classes in school to have read about the 19th amendment.
5. Voting? Wasn’t that covered under leaving Ebay feedback?
4. Too busy working on perfecting my Sonny Bono lookalike haircut.
3. As Ebay’s Supreme Ruler didn’t have time for a meaningless democracy (contributed by Jerry Perisho)
2. Wanted to appeal to all those other Californians who never vote in elections. Oops.
And of course the true number one reason:
1. Never thought I would run for Governor.
