NASCAR Politics
There's been talk lately in political circles about "NASCAR Dads" (they're the new "soccer moms" only they lean towards the conservative side, and by a decent amount). Well, this is the most interesting play for their votes that I've seen so far: a Kilgore for Governor car. Picture of the car available here. Jerry Kilgore is the Republican candidate for Virginia governor, one of two gubernatorial elections this November (the other is in New Jersey). The car will be participating in NASCAR race in Martinsville, Virginia on October 23. More can be read on the matter here.
As it stands, Kilgore is the favorite to win in Virginia, and dem Sen. John Corzine is the favorite to win in New Jersey. In both states, a democrat won the last election; Mark Warner in Virginia, a fairly popular democrat, a moderate and a 2008 hopeful; in New Jersey, it was Jim McGreevey, who had to resign in disgrace after it was discovered that he appointed his gay lover as the head of state homeland security (and, to make matters more scandalous, his gay lover didn't even qualify for a security clearance; plus, McGreevey was married; McGreevey tried to spin the whole resignation as being related to him being gay, but there was so much more).
