Campaign Dairy! Mooving forward! Cow-based Election joke! I got half off this joke off Twitter and wrote the other half myself. Twitter and I are hilarious.
This campaign is apparently different because it is the Federal Election Campaign During Which Twitter Was In Existence 2010! It’s a Twampaign.
