Homer's Best BetsThe phrase "vote early, vote often" is usually attributed to former Chicago mayor and Democratic Party boss Richard J. Daley, who ruled the Windy City with an iron fist for 21 years. The Betster would never, ever encourage anyone to commit voter fraud, of course, nor do we aspire to "Daley machine" politics here in the cosmic hamlet by the sea, but if you whittle down Daley's statement a wee bit, there is an important message there.
