Okay, so I'm a Democrat, so it narrows my choices.

What really bugs me is when a volunteer for any candidate calls and says, "Can we count on your vote?"

No. You cannot. One: I'm a flake. Two: It's none of your business. Even if my mind is made up, I don't like to be asked. Don't ask and don't tell is my policy on the matter.

Someone asked me if I could post an announcement for a Jeff Latas party. Quite frankly, I have not heard that much about him, so I went to his Web site and kind of like him. In his issues, he mentions animal welfare, and neither Patty nor Gabby do. He already has 10 points in my book. Now if I could just interest him in keeping the Tucson Greyhound race track accountable, I'd be on the streets asking people if they wanted to vote for him. Some politician has got to see the importance of this issue sooner or later.

Here's a good list of Jeff Latas events. There are several this week, but the one that I was asked to post is Friday (Aug. 11) in midtown.

Gabby is not nearly as busy as Jeff.

And Patty is more busy than Gabby but nobody seems as busy as Jeff.
