Voice from television: ... Virginia Slade was preferred by 23% and the Republican, Lacey Davenport, polled 25%... Zonker: Lacey Davenport? Where'd she come from? Joanie: I don't believe this! I just don't believe it! How could that woman possibly get 25% of the vote?! She hasn't even campaigned! I don't think she's given a single speech since June! Zonker: Well, I guess that could explain it... Joanie: Doesn't she know her party is dying?!
hmmm, i wonder how many times the republican party has died in my lifetime
