Since we’re probably all sick to death of the same old messages over and over, I think we at the SDMB can do better. It can be funny, it can be serious, it can be outrageous…whatever you can wrap your mind around.

Here’s mine:

SCENE: A polling place, Anytown, USA.

_A VOTER walks into the poll. VOTER hands registration card to POLL WORKER._

VOTER: “Excuse me, which voting booth should I use?”

_POLL WORKER looks up. It’s JOHN MCCAIN._

MCCAIN: “Well, that one’s open…but you don’t wanna use it.”  
VOTER: “Why not?”  
MCCAIN: “It’s…a _Democrat Zone_! It’s full of tax-and-spend _liberals_! Weak national defense, big government…”  
VOTER: “But…I’ve got the Obama Network.”

_BARACK OBAMA enters polling place, surrounded by military advisers, health-care professionals, financial analysts etc._

OBAMA(_gives “thumbs-up sign”_): “We’re good! In fact, we’re better than good! We’re Americans, and together we can conquer any problems!”  
MCCAIN (_crestfallen_): "Oh… "

_MCCAIN hands card back to VOTER. VOTER heads for booth._

MCCAIN: “_HIS NAME IS KINDA FUNNY!_”  
TAGLINE: “Don’t be afraid of Democrats! Vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden in 2008.”
