Polls are open until 9 p.m. today, and in case you still haven't voted, perhaps a last minute kickass music video from gubernatorial candidate Jimmy McMillan of the Rent Is Too Damn High party will sway your decision. The plot centers around (surprise) McMillan getting evicted, dancing with girls wearing plaid and fur hats, and includes spoken-word lyrics like, "all poor people are being run out of New York." Poetry? Bad rap music? Publicity stunt? The shark jumping once and for all? Whatever it is, his entire album is on iTunes today. We personally can't wait for the "Rent Party Christmas" music video. [Via NY Observer]
Also, did you know that if McMillan gets 50,000 votes, the Rent Is Too Damn High party will get legitimate party backing?
