Question of the day

Posted in:

* Usually about this time in a campaign cycle, I sternly warn commenters to avoid posting bumper sticker slogans in comments.

“Vote for X! She’s the best!” goofiness really has no place here. The same goes for “Vote against Z! He’s no good!” crud.

We’ll be deleting as many of those comments as possible in the coming days, so be warned: Your bumper sticker won’t stick here.

This time, though, I’ve decided to give our warning a little twist, so…

* The Question: Can you come up with a bumper sticker slogan for your favorite candidate and/or against your most despised candidate? If so, have fun while it lasts. Snark is heavily encouraged, of course.

The winner will get an invite to a special private party I’m probably throwing this Saturday night in Chicago. If you can’t come, or if you don’t want to divulge your identity, no biggie. At least you will have won. I say “probably” because I’m so busy this week that I may be too tired to do the party, which I host the Saturday before every state election. I’ll decide by tomorrow. If I don’t do it, I’ll buy you a pop or something more adult-oriented.

…Adding… People are getting so into the spirit of things that I thought I’d create an actual bumper sticker just for fun…

Heh.

  144. OK, I just have to insert a comment here about Captain Flume’s Alexi slogan. As someone who collects political buttons and campaign memorabilia I think that “Bank on Giannoulias” is so cool, so retro, and so in the “I LIKE IKE” mold that if his family’s bank connections were not such a problem for him it might have made a clever campaign button and bumper sticker.

    On the other hand, DON’T BANK ON GIANNOULIAS might be a fun slogan for Mark Kirk to use later.

  248. QUINN FOR ILLINOIS

    Because Illinoisans deserve government that is going to take care of them and do what’s best for working families. I don’t know exactly how, but we need to create jobs and help our dollars go further, in a responsible way. We need to make sure we help people put a roof over their head, food on the table, and clothes on their backs. Because children are the future of this State, and I’ve always said that. Even when I was an advocate for more responsible utilities and for the environment. Which reminds me that our earth is important and in Illinois that earth is the land of Lincoln, which is now the land of Obama. And like Obama, I say Yes We Can have a better government for our families, and our kids. Now I’ve met a lot of kids across this great state - from the lakefront of Chicago to the Quad Cities to the great colleges and universities in Central and Southern Illinois. And speaking of colleges, MAP grants.

    QUINN FOR ILLINOIS.

  299. C’mon folks, let’s make it 300….

    I don’t know how to make this a slogan exactly, but I am put in mind of Jon Stewart’s comment on The Daily Show after Blago got busted: “It’s your choice kids, you can be governor of Illinois, or you can kill somebody.” (Referring to the fact that statistically speaking, Illinois governors were more likely to go to prison than murderers.)
