World can’t wait…for pizza!
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are busy this week jetting across the nation, smiling for cameras while they throttle each other for delegates and momentum on Super Tuesday. Meanwhile, the third Democrat, former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel is hanging in there and hanging out.
Grumpy Gravel is working the liberal San Francisco and Berkeley areas for the next few days, and while he’s there picking up stray votes he’ll be picking up a few slices. He and some of his supporters are hanging out at a Berkeley pizza joint to watch the returns Tuesday.
Join us as the results from the “Super Tuesday” primaries roll in, don’t sit home yelling at the TV! Come spend a few hours with Mike and the World Can’t Wait–Drive Out the Bush Regime! activists and many other friends. Location: Spud’s Pizza 3290 Adeline, Berkeley, CA (Spud’s is a short walk from Ashby BART / easy street parking / wheelchair accessible)
Gravel has barely registered in any of the early primary states. Candidates who have already dropped out of the race often get more votes. But the thinning field may allow him to win some protest votes, maybe even accumulate a few convention delegates.
Everyone knows the key to winning a presidential primary election is to buy the voters pizza. At least it worked in high school…
