Strip Clubs Get Out The Vote (Against Bush) (CBS)

(AP) Strip club owners are putting a little bada-bing in the presidential campaign by asking patrons to turn their eyes away from the stage for a moment to fill out a voter registration form — and then vote against President Bush.

"It's not to say our industry loves John Kerry or anything like that," said Dave Manack, associate publisher of E.D. Publications, which publishes Exotic Dancer magazine. "But George Bush, if he's re-elected, it could be very damaging to our industry."

Fearful that conservatives might turn off the colored lights for good, a trade organization for adult nightclubs is asking owners to register customers and employees and then encourage them to cast their ballots against the president. Micheal Ocello, president of the Association of Club Executives, said the group believes the president's brand of conservatism is bad for business.

"We must do everything within our power to help ensure that Bush and his ultra conservative administration are removed from the White House," Ocello wrote in a letter to nearly 4,000 club owners. "If we are to survive, we must act now."

hmmmmmm don't think it will play in Peoria

Guess that might confuse some patrons, though.

:evilgrin:

Men around these parts seem to attend strip clubs at least as regularly as they attend church.

Nah, it'll never work. Back to the drawing board.

The problem with registering voters in a T-bar isn't the bare breasts, it's the alcohol. All too often, people say things in bars, then fail with the follow-through.

:evilfrown:

If they are it is a good reason for the "regulars" to go vote.

The problem with registering voters in a bar is that it's all very well that they get registered, but unless they're committed, there's no guarantee that they'll actually vote either during early voting (Which we have here in Texas) or on Election Day. I'm not sneering for partisan reasons, I'm merely relating my observations on human behavior.
