DEL.ICIO.USAn afternoon message from Vernon Jones
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Someone has posted on YouTube a last-minute robo-call made by Vernon Jones, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate. It’s an audio file attached to a still photo.
You can’t mistake the sound of urgency in the DeKalb County CEO’s voice. Click on the still photo, or read this partial transcript:
“I need you right now, you fine people in Fulton County. I need you to come out to the polls and vote. The turnout is very low, and you all can make a difference. I want to be your U.S. senator. I want to address high gasoline prices and fix congestion in metro Atlanta.
“Please come out right now. It’s a run-off. I need your help. I want to be your senator. I want to work hard for you. Too many people made too many sacrifices for us to vote. We need you to come out now, at the sound of my voice. If you’re on the sofa, if you just made it home and you’re tired from work — I know you’re tired, but please get up, go to the polls and vote…..”

Shhhh listen! The sound that you now hear is Martin winning another vote. Better luck next time Vernon. Maybe your cuz, Obama will give you a job (esp. since you are so close to him) or was that just a photo shop pic.

Do I detect a bit of desperation in his voice?
If he doesn’t win the primary, that means in a few months he won’t have a constant entourage and 24/7 police protection. Oh, the horror!!

Ha! I got one a few minutes ago, but it cut off in the middle. Time for Democrats to come out and vote for the Democrat in this race!!!
