Welcome to the Carnival Of The Vanities – Week 59. Since today was election day in many parts of the country the Carnival this week features all the great entries you’ve come to expect, and a little election trivia thown in for good measure. Special thanks to Jennifer of Jennifer’s History & Stuff for the election trivia.
Entries are presented in ballot form, even though that metaphor got tiresome about 2 hours into the list compilation. Much like the time spent listening to stump speeches, I’m never going to get those hours back. Neither are you…
Entries are broken down into 11 major categories for readablility…

Great job, Kevin! Where did you get the campaign buttons?
I honestly don’t remember. Some political memorabilia web site…
My entry isn’t there. I go now to pout and crush breakfast cereals in frustration.
Don’t worry Jim mine our’s isn’t either, guess we didn’t make the cut 🙁
Nor mine–nor my Bonfire entry. I don’t suck enough at one thing, and I suck too much at the other.
You have no idea how bummed I am.
My apologies, the trackback just got to me. Woah that is slow. The carrier pidgeon just landed on my windowsill 😛
Andrew – I had your entry. There was an issue with the URL, I set it aside to fix later, then forgot, etc… All up to date now…
Victor – I have no idea where your is… If you can resend or post the URL to the comments I’ll fix.
Looks great! Thanks for the hard work, I can’t wait to read them all!
Kevin, thanks for the link to Snopes. I knew the photo and story were fakes, but I would never have believed that they had become an Urban Legend. I’ve udpated my post with the info. Doh!
Uh, that would be “updated”.
A fine job, sir.
This page looks really cool. Thanks for all the work this must have taken!
Wonderful job, Kevin!
Ok, I researched all the candidates and I’m ready to vote. Took the whole stinkin’ day, too.
Dead Ends seems to be unaware…no posts since 10/5/3…
Bravo! Can I mention that I got 11 votes last November as a write-in candidate in the Texas Governor’s Race? Of course, that and $4.95 might get me a latte at Starbucks….
don’t even have a category for the oldcatman…………
