Electioneering

[c9]

I'd like to hold a US Election party on November 2nd, but I don't think I could quite handle a strong Bush supporter attending. Well, they could attend, but they might not be willing to wear the gag. I think it's because I'm still expecting Bush to win.

(I would never restrict a Tory supporter from coming to a Canadian election party. You're all invited, whenever Tony Valeri finally loses count.)

How should I phrase the invitation to let people know whether they'd enjoy the party? "Kerry supporters only" is really far too crude, and not accurate anyway. Maybe "If Bush wins you better be disappointed" would work?

Yes, but have you (in the singluar) spoken to them before? If anything even remotely political has come up, and if they're Bush supporters, they won't come.

I've had conversations with them (I think) regarding politics, but never in depth. I know that I've never foamed at the mouth. So if any of them feel strongly about their beliefs, or feel like keeping friendships and politics separate, I'm sure they'd still feel like coming along.
