A commenter at Daily Kos had a very funny prediction on how Deborah Owens Fink can attack Tom Sawyer in their race for the Ohio Board of Education:
(CUE "DIRE" VOICE)
"Tom Sawyer SAYS he whitewashed the fence. But all he's whitewashed is his liberal record. Voters want to know -- just what WAS he doing on all those long night alone with Huck Finn? This November Send a message to Tom Sawyer -- tell him HIS brand of life on the Missisippi is not the life YOU want. Tell Tom Saywer he can't whitewash his past."
"Paid for by friends of Injun Joe"
I would have said "Paid for by Swift Boat Veterans for Injun Joe", but that's close enough for me.

I showed that to my wife who said, "That should read
"Paid for by Swift RAFT Veterans for Injun Joe" ".
LOL. Damn it, I wish I'd thought of that.
That or "Swift RIVER boat Veterans...", but raft is probably better.
I tend to suspect that a lot of people are supporting him not just because they agree with him politically, but because voting for someone named Tom Sawyer is just so damn cool.
Personally, I think it'd be cooler to vote for Representative E.E. Cummings.
If I lived in Ohio, I'd vote for Professor Frink, but then again, I know about her now.
Skemono - Shouldn't that be Representative e.e. cummings?
So is Tom Sawyer using the old RUSH song for his campaign?
