Chicklets - potential female voters

Diarrhedundant - the same old bullshit

D'ohbama - Homer Simpson's cry when he voted for Obama by mistake

Serena,

Long - way too long. I hope they pass a law that from now on they cannot campaign, or cannot announce they are going to run until the January of the year of the election.
