Bev’s Lot

Here is the real world of politics.
 
Imagine you’re Governor Perdue’s political adviser. You’re trying to solve her poll problems. You’re looking for policy ideas and initiatives she can push. You’re tweaking her schedule for maximum media. You’re branching into new media and online communications.
 
Then you hear this exchange between a drug-store clerk and a customer – clearly a regular – buying lottery tickets:
 
Customer: “I guess I’ll try one of those Holiday lottery tickets again.”
 
Clerk: “How are those working out for you?”
 
Customer: “Not as good as last Christmas.”
 
Clerk: “Well, you know, we’ve got Perdue in office now.”
 
Customer: “That’s right.”
 
That’s the thanks Bev gets for casting the vote that passed the lottery.
