The poll on the left has been running for a couple of weeks and the results are very interesting. As you can see from the chart below, Saucy Sal, aka Sarah Palin is far and away the number one choice to take on a lovely days’ sailing. In my view, there could be two reasons for this:
1. The readers of this blog are ultra conservative, gun-toting creationists. If this is the case, I am switching off the blog today!
2. Or, you are a bunch of horny devils who have seen the allegedly photoshopped picture of Sarah Palin in a bikini.
After doing a bit of analysis on my blog using quantcast, it seems like the average reader of this organ is a 45 year old, college-educated, white male (which is interesting as that is what I am). My conclusion is that you are a bunch of dirty old sods and I love you all!. The blogosphere can breathe a sigh of relief as this blog lives on!
The other thing that interested me is the margin between Obama and McCain. I am an Obama supporter so I am delighted but to be honest I am kinda surprised. As much as I hope Obama becomes the next pres’, I would rather take McCain sailing. First of all, I think the first hour or two with Obama would be wonderful, but I think it might get a little exhausting by hour 3. He does go on a bit.
While I don’t agree with McCain’s beliefs, he actually seems like a helluva good bloke. I used to love him on the John Stewart Show before he swung right. As he was a naval aviator, I bet he knows the difference between a bowline and bowsprit. I also suspect he has a few salty stories in the locker.
Biden’s dismal showing is not exactly surprising. He seems like a pretty dull cove. But as my friend Howard of Knot Again fame pointed out to me, Biden’s hair looks like some weird inflatable device, so he might be quite useful in a storm.
I am going to keep the poll going until everyone loses interest, so as the saying goes – Vote early and vote often!
I think it’s a matter of taste. Years ago, before he…um…changed…I managed to find myself in a half hour conversation with Senator McCain and two other people. McCain was great to chat with, but you definately felt that at a certain level it was his way or the highway.
Palin would be the first one thrown over the side of any life raft.
Hold on now there Michael, Sarah can fish. I find this a useful skill especially at sea. If the boat sank and we were stranded on an island ….and everyone on the earth were to die by a strange virus at least you could rest assured that the human race would not become extinct.
Wait a minute, where’s the pin on Albuquerque? I voted in this poll — mine was the second vote cast.
For the record, I chose McCain — I figured that his military experience would make him good crew, particularly on headsail trim. Palin was a close second; she knows her way around a boat, even if it’s not a sailboat.
Obama just doesn’t seem to fit in with sailing, and Biden … well, I already have enough long-windedness with Pat.
Can you imagine being stuck on a boat with Sarah…have you seen this interview:

As I feel that I could have given better answers to those questions can I be VP
