The Deadheads And Turnout: Uh-Oh

This Grateful Dead concert is not good news for Obama. Given one last chance to hear the Dead, even without Jerry Garcia, many, many fans will take this opportunity to embark on the magical mystery tour just one more time.  And you know what that means - low turnout on Tuesday.  At the last free Dead concert I attended, albeit many years ago, purchase of a t-shirt got you a hit of very pure windowpane. When I left the concert at five in the morning, well, not even the opportunity to vote for the Resurrected Christ could have kept me from my bed for the next 14 hours.

Hey guys, if you're reading this right now: get out and vote.
