California shoppers, Schwarzenegger is watching you

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Gin or vodka? Ford or BMW? Perrier or Fiji water? Does the car you buy or what's in your fridge say anything about how you'll vote?

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign thinks so.

Employing technology honed in President Bush's 2004 victory, the Republican governor's re-election team has created a vast computer storehouse of data on personal buying habits and voter records to identify likely supporters. Campaign officials say the operation is the largest of its kind in any state, at any time.

Some strategists believe consumer information can reveal a voter's politics even better than a party label can.

"It's not where they live, it's how they live," said Josh Ginsberg, the Schwarzenegger campaign's deputy political director.

The idea is an outgrowth of techniques that businesses have long used to find new customers. Using publicly available data, the Bush campaign in 2004 knew voters' favorite vacation spots, religious leanings, the music and magazines they liked, the cars they drove.

If only Arnold put such effort into, you know, actually being governor, he probably wouldn’t need this information. Not like he needs the information anyway, most polls show him having a clear majority of the votes.

Actually, I wonder why the Schwarzenegger camp would even want this information released to the press. Most individuals, especially the ones in the “middle” that Arnold seems to be targeting, have grown a little wary about the state of privacy in America. Wire-tapping of phone calls, looking for their web browser information and now the need to see how they spend their money? Isn’t the Republican Party supposed to be against Big Government getting involved in our lives?

Do they really think if someone buys porn that they’ll vote for a porn star? Not that one is still running.

Carey Quits Campaign to be with Family

Adult starlet and gubernatorial candidate, Mary Carey, has been forced to stop campaigning due to a family tragedy. After a recent campaign appearance at San Diego State University, Carey had to cancel the remainder of her “Shock the Vote” tour across college campuses of California.

Carey’s mother, Jaqueline Cook, is currently in critical condition after a recent accident in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. After a strenuous month of flying back and forth to Florida to see her mom, Carey said that she has decided to stop campaigning to be by her mother’s side in Florida for an upcoming surgery.

“As much as I want to help the state of California be a better place I think it is more important to be with my mom and help her,” said Carey, a contract performer for Legend Video. "I am only 26 and have many more years to be involved in politics, but right now I must be in Florida with my mom."

God, I miss New Jersey. I really do.
