Pickles on a Stick Lose an Election!

Scott Petri (R) was in the battle of his life with Carl Cherkin (D). Cherkin was a FOX-29 sportscaster and had great name ID.

Everybody loves Fox! Especially Dems.

At a parade in early September, Cherkin was on a float with Rendell, who was running for Gov the first time. The Petri camp was doomed.

But then, inexplicably, the Cherkin folks began passing out pickles on a stick. They were wearing signs and chanting “Gherkins for Cherkin”. Petri won 55-45.

Pickles on a stick have not been used in politics since that fateful day.

How about petri dishes?

    perhaps if they dunked the pickles in chocolate and marshmellow fluff and deep fried them like they fry things at Musikfest whey would have won hands down ! :):)

    I recall 8-10 years ago Freid Pickles were a fad.

    We had a sample case at Memorytown when I was a teenage cook there.

    Sysco sold them.

    I miss the deep freid candy bars from Southampton Fish and Chips.

    But the food that will win any election.

    Deep freid SPAM.

    Its fat, crunchy, juicy. And SPAM has been a staple of American culture. Heck they even named the internet version of fillibustering porno ads in your e-mail after it.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
