Two candidates for political…

Two candidates for political office inadvertently scheduled
simultaneous campaign rallies in the same park of a small town.
After a lengthy round of speeches, the candidates worked their way
through the crowd, shaking hands, kissing babies and beaming
mightily.

Suddenly, 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. The other candidate, however, continued to
move through the crowd, shaking hands, kissing babies, etc.

“That man’s persistence yonder,” observed one of the regulars, “sure
makes it easy to know who to vote for.”

“Yep,” another regular 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.”
