Quite the day...had contact with the enemy in three locations...two Starbucks and a Borders. When getting coffee carriers for an Obama office today, passed by a table of big dudes all saying that they think they can pull it out, looked pretty downcast - so I said to them Obama 393 Electoral votes, election called by 9 PM. They looked daggers at me...I was gleeful. After canvassing, I went to Borders to unwind, overheard a table of middle aged people saying that they heard from Rush that they can pull this out...at the sound of the word "Rush", I just got on out of there - didn't want to spoil my good mood. Then on the way home to get my freebie at another Starbucks, lots of McLameiacs in line, a few saying "free coffee is like paying people to vote" - her I voted repub sticker - a whole slew of us said, nearly together, anything that gets people off their butts to vote is a good thing....then a few people showed me their Obama buttons (hidden under their coats, unlike me who had them all over my shirt!). There is lots of anxiety out there, hopefullness, but many of us who just can't believe that after 8 years of hell we finally will be able to start work on something good!
So, yes, very interesting day out there in rainy, dreary but hopeful Raleigh!
