Apparently, California Republican candidates Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman unveiled a new method for attracting Latino voters: tequila shots. The Senate and gubernatorial candidates each took a shot of the Mexican spirit this weekend at the Hispanic 100 Lifetime Achievement Award Gala. Both candidates have struggled to attract support from Latino voters, who make up a sizable chunk of the state’s voting population, which MSNBC’s John Boxley claimed was the reason for the stunt.
Boxley doesn’t quote either candidate admitting her tequila shot was a Latino outreach move. Still, the concept of political posturing through liquor choices has a history in political campaigns: Then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took a shot of whiskey — Crown Royal — while on the campaign trail in 2008, and President Obama has been accused of drinking Bud Light as an effort to relate to working-class voters.

Don't buy too many clothes when discounted season comes Be attracted by the lower price, many women buy a pile of clothes in the discounted season,no matter if they really needs them.but many of the clothes will be layed in your wardrobe forever.In fact, this is because women don't really know what they need. women should think of their needs at the beginning of the season,list them on the paper,buy some cheaper one according to your economic conditions,when the discounted season comes,buy the classic style which can't out of fashion in some years,for example,a Arc'teryx orChristian Louboutin overcoat, a Christian Louboutin Sale or (5) dress,a pair of Jimmy Choo or (3) shoes, moncler or manolo blahnik trousers, buy one you need,don't be confused by the lower price on the clothes you don't really need.
