Segways on the Campaign Trail

smooth wombat writes "The Segway is being used in a way probably not considered during its design: on the campaign trail. CNN's story talks about how a few candidates in different states are using the device to meet more people. According to one campaign consultant, who cited a Yale University study, knocking on voters' doors can account for a 7 percent to 12 percent increase in overall voter turnout. Using the Segway a candidate can reach three times the people compared to simply walking."

Using the Segway a candidate can reach three times the people compared to simply walking.

And they can get 3x fatter as well.

Yeah, great way to relate to the common man...

...because we know that a great way to relate to voters is to own a $5,000 walking scooter.
