"Not voting is like always letting a man pick your drink...."

Getting single gals out of the bars and spas and into voting booths: Carrie the Vote:
Carriethevote.com seeks to draw and attract a single unmarried female audience that has never voted before. Since unmarried women have traditionally been brushed aside in politics for the “Nascar Dad”, or the “Soccer Mom", this website hopes to build critical mass by informing this huge demographic of their voting power.CTV mainly seeks to a wake up call to let women know how voting makes them fabulous. There are plenty of websites that can expertly inform voters about women’s the election issues, and so CTV prefers to leave these serious matters to them. In fact, for the sophisticated woman in the know about political issues affecting women who no doubt votes, CTV may be a bit of a bore. CTV simply offers an easy breezy general guide to introduce the non-voter on how to incorporate voting into one's life.
Carriethevote.com came to life after new research about the absence of single unmarried female voters during American elections. In developing the content and design of CTV, several women’s groups were consulted about creating a sassy Sex and the City type satire that relates to the unmarried single female voter. Also, women, who have and have not voted before, were polled on the street to ask what would get their attention and what approach would get them to start thinking about voting.
I've never watched Sex and the City and had already registered to vote before I learned it would make me FABULOUS. But if you sign up for the raffle, tell 'em you were referred by me (use the address "mail (at) closkey.com"). I can always use a new pair of high-heeled shoes.
In other tongue-in-cheek humor, Sylvia explains why you should vote.
