Favorite jokes public office

Have you ever seen people campaigning for public office?

Recently I went to see two candidates who had somehow scheduled simultaneous campaign rallies in the same park of my city.

After a lengthy round of speeches, the candidates worked their way through the crowd -- shaking hands, kissing babies and beaming mightily.

However, when without warning the skies opened and it began to rain, one of the candidates fled to take shelter in a nearby restaurant along with half a dozen regulars. But the other candidate continued to move through the crowd-shaking hands, kissing babies, etc.

"That man's persistent" I said to someone standing nearby. "Sure makes it easy to know who to vote for."

"Yep," he agreed. "Sure can't see myself casting a vote for a man who hasn't the good sense to come in out of the rain."
