Win a trip to the Democratic Convention – “Chip In”

Oh my, if nothing else you have to give them credit for creativity. I remember the good old days when a contest involved a cereal box top or you got a jar of jelly for buying gas or maybe a tiger’s tail for your tank.

I wonder if you also get to meet old Joe?

Once again Joe Biden misspoke, I’m pretty sure he meant to say first prize was a trip to the Republican Convention. You know us old guys, we tend to hit “send” before realizing the iPhone keyboard did us in once again.I was particularly intrigued to see the legal disclosure at the bottom. You can send in the $3.00 or not and still have a chance to sit next to Mrs Obama. That’s like not buying a magazine and still being eligible to win a billion dollars for life … what a deal!

I wouldn’t mind chipping in $3.00, but could we use it to pay down the debt?

Friend —

We’ve run a lot of contests on this campaign, but you should pay special attention to this one.

Here are three reasons why: The winner gets to go to the Democratic National Convention, meet the President, AND spend time with the First Lady.

Chip in $3 or whatever you can to be automatically entered for a chance to meet her — and her husband — in Charlotte.

In addition to sitting up front with the First Lady as President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination for president, the lucky winner and a guest will get airfare, a hotel room, and VIP tickets to all three days of the convention.

You should give it a shot — chip in $3 or whatever you can to be automatically entered:

Joe
