It may even be sneaky enough to be called an eye gouge. Think about it–the guy’s been running for President pretty much continuously for the last 4 years. How shrewd would it have been to Read More ...

If you go door-to-door campaigning, or if you have people going door-to-door for you, it’s probably not a good idea to wear mirrored sunglasses. You may be knocking on doors in an area that is safe for your candidate, simply reminding people to get out and vote on election day, but even if those people agree with (most) of your positions, there’s a chance they’ll be distracted and put a Read More ...
