So I'm at the AFT convention and the first vendor I see is a Romney supporter

I decided to get a cup of coffee. Went to one of several coffee stands here at the convention center. Guy who waits on me asks why I'm here and I tell him AFT convention. He asks if the unions are going to support Obama and I said yes I think so. And he says "Well there's only one clear choice in November and that's Romney."

So I say "I think I'll go to that other coffee vendor over there and get my coffee."

I can tell he's mad because he's already poured the coffee and is waiting for my money.

So I say "Listen, it's just not too smart to promote a Republican presidential candidate at a UNION convention."

He says "Point taken. Here's your coffee. No charge."
