Midnight Sun's presidential endorsement
After much deliberation, calculation and libation, we at Midnight Sun have reached a unanimous decision on one of our nation's most important issues -- the presidential election.
As you well know, this election will shape our country for years to come. It is a crucial time for America, and there are tough decisions to be made. On that note, we are proud to announce Midnight Sun's presidential endorsement ...
Captain Morgan!
From the start, the captain's slogan -- "Party Without the Politics!" -- struck a chord with us. We knew he had something special to offer America.
As this race has unfolded, we came to see the captain as a deliciously smooth and spicy candidate who could lead this country in the right direction.
We like everything the captain stands for, from the two-day work week (and five-day weekend) to "making sure the party is hot hot hot" to drinking responsibly ("captain's orders").
Midnight Sun also admires the captain's rustic fashion sensibility and swashbuckling approach to politics.
Still undecided?
The following video should help you make up your mind.

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

Captain has never treated me badly --- actually, he has. But I keep coming back.

Why do I think the flamboyant Cap'n might be in favor of gay marriage? (Not that there's anyting wrong with that.)

SS2,
"seems better than what the idiots in the major parties have foisted on us."
Not completely true. The press has been quite active in pushing Obama on us and treating him as the heir apparent, with his slim to non-existent professional resume and circle of associates, not buying the somewhat tarnished glitz without substance.
Whether you agree or not Vote!
