does everyone in Southern California make voting decisions this way?

Thursday morning I gagged on my coffee when I read this -

"Let's see, I disagree with Henry Waxman on just about anything, and don't know much about his opponent, Victor Elizade... but somehow, I feel compelled to vote for the one who recognizes me from the locker room at Spectrum Club, because I know that he'll at least talk to me. Henry Waxman for Congress."

Hey, don't get me wrong, Waxman's been a fantastic congressman for decades. If only the democrats knew that merely saying hello to republicans in the locker room could so easily convert votes, we'd have this election sown up! (oh, just Google the quote if you need to know where I read this "endoresement")
