Despite having an interest in political science, I still can't find myself getting too excited about local elections.  Concrete, easy-to-find information about candidates is hard to come by unless you really dig for info, and the end result doesn't really matter since the party I typically vote for has a minority of voters here. 
  
One of the many things that make me so apathetic about local politics?  Lame political slogans.  Why should I vote for you if you can't even come up with something catchy? 
  
For example, running for Commissioner around here...on one side, we have a candidate declaring he's a "Man of Vision"--ironically, they show this slogan next to a picture of the guy wearing glasses.  Trite, and unintentionally humorous--but not a slogan to get me behind the guy. 
  
The other person running for the position declares he'll "Keep Fayette (county name) on the move."  What does that mean?  I was unaware we were "on the move" in the first place.  We're dead-last economy wise out of all the counties in the state I believe.  However, it's well known that a great number of young people looking to have an important career tend to move out of the county--is that what he means?  How does that make me want to vote for him? 
  
This isn't really a "current events" topic persay, but since this is the thread usually used for political discussions, here it goes.  I'm sure you guys have some doozies of your own you've seen.
