Some of the new voters were high school students, other [...]

Published by tyler January 7th, 2008 2 Comments

I have something to confess – I’ve been thinking of switching parties lately, or at least voting Republican in the coming Senatorial election. I know what you’re thinking, but honestly, the charisma and (pseudo-)enthusiasm of Mike Johanns has me hooked. Check out Johanns’ latest video:
