Segway-The-Vote
I just read about the team of documentary filmmakers who recently finished piloting a Segway across the United States. Wow! I can’t wait until this thriller hits the theatres.
It seems that Segways might also serve well for helping political candidates speed up canvassing. A past CNN article tells of how a few local candidates around the country used Segways to go door-to-door during the election season. Besides saving a candidate from walking to death, it also helps undecided voters remember who you are. For example, if the kids come outside to look at the Segway while visiting, chances are you’ll at least be remembered (but maybe not voted for) on Election Day.
Most of the candidates featured bought a new or used (eBay) Segway. However renting might be more cost-effective for candidates. At Segway-Rentals-Now one can rent by the day or up to a month at a time, and even have the vehicle tricked out with custom-built campaign signs.
