1. Bob Graham tried that when he was running for the democratic nomination
He ended up dropping out.

7. Bob Graham Ford
The sponsorship was on the Roush Racing #50 Ford F-150 for 18 races in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2003. He got a lot of TV and talk time on the racing broadcasts because it had never been done before.

A lot of us NASCAR fans are Democrats, believe it or not. :)

2. Mark Warner has quite a NASCAR fan following...
But it probably has a lot to do with the fact that he co-founded Nextel..


Plus the fact that he sponsors a NASCAR vehicle..



~~~ He even has a little NASCAR on his PAC website. So there you have it, a Dem that NASCAR fans actually love! :shrug:

9. Well, if you ever feel like painting another one..
You sure should ask Mark Warner. The dude has more money than he knows what to do with, plus he just broke some record for the amount he brouht in during the first reporting period for '08 Dem or Repub potential prospects.



If you get the painting bug, tell him. He's traveling all over the nation (San Diego, TX, DC, all over) http://www.forwardtogetherpac.com/

14. That is very cool.
John Kerry is actually a NASSCAR fan. I've seen photos of him at at least two different races last year (and it was AFTER the '04 campaign, so he wasn't just there politicin').

17. I love racing, don't have a mullett, and never beat my wife
Jesus. Does that mean you must have a knothole in the tree out back because you love it so much? Oh, and I don't like beer either. So what sub-section of fan to I fit?

21. Or maybe we could stop displaying our class hatreds at every
opportunity. It makes us look a bit hypocritical, since we claim to be the party of the common people and all that.

22. Best way to get the NASCAR dads: Shoot someone in the face
apparently that's how you earn respect with that sick fucking death-cult that the mainstream media calls Conservatives.
