MJM0771 0 Posted June 10, 2002 I found this on YAHOO NEWS: Using Booze and Breasts to Get Voters Mon Jun 10, 9:47 AM ET PRAGUE (Reuters) - Czech voters are having to make some hard election choices -- should they support the party offering free alcohol or the one using topless women in its campaign? With the Christian Democrats handing out free shots of plum brandy in the Moravian town of Valasske Mezirici during a weekend election rally, the Communist party had to quickly change its strategy for a meeting in the same town square. Soon the party had five topless women handing out campaign literature, forcing people to decide between a free shot and a free peek. "This is something completely new. And it's nice," the daily Pravo quoted one eyewitness as saying. The paper did not say which party the man would vote for. The centrist Christian Democrats have teamed up with the center-right Freedom Union to form the Coalition in the June 14-15 general election. They are currently polling at around 15 percent. The communists are slightly ahead of the Coalition in the polls, running at around 18 percent. ------------------- I thought this was amusing, and wanted to share with everyone.

Warin 0 Posted June 11, 2002 Dont worry Assault. No one would want to see Jean Chretien naked, so we dont have to worry about it To be honest, anything that might make people think about voting...and getting out to vote...isnt a bad thing. Just because you take a shot of brandy, or gape at some bodacious tata's doesnt mean you will vote based on which one you prefer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
