Oh, baby...told the guy I'll take it and he laughed. Said "I figured that would be the first one I sold today. First one I've been able to get for months." While I'm filling out the paperwork, two other guys offer me more for the gun than I'm paying for it...one offered me $100 more. I was tempted, but I've really wanted this gun bad. I work through the rest of the show and get stopped a dozen times by people wanting to buy it. Turns out, it's the only one at the show...and fat daddy here snagged it. haha.

Anyway, the show is packed...looked like people throwing cash around right and left. I've been going to these for years and I heard more talk than ever, just listening to people in the crowd, about Obama...how he is going to get re-elected...and how he'll be a real pain in his second term when he doesn't have to worry about re-election. Hmmph. At a gun show, it's about as conservative red-state as you can get...didn't expect to hear people that thought Obama was a lock.

So then, I have to stop by the mall...which I hate...and I stop by the food court to eat a sammich. I hear these two teenage Jonas Brothers looking nimrods in front of me in line talking about how Obama was awesome. Then, be danged if I'm not sitting there eating and hear these other two guys (dressed like they work construction) having a conversation about how it was so busy at the mall, the economy looked pretty good here, and that they thought they ought to vote for Obama so as not to take a chance on screwing any of these good times up. Huh???

I've never heard so much political chatter...and it wasn't about Mitt. It was about Obama. This only strengthens my feeling that this turd is going to get re-elected come November. Ugh.

The debates are looming as Mitt's last chance to make something happen.
Don't think so...........Probably everyone you overheard is an unlikely voter. WHICH is a good thing.

Polls that show Obama in the lead are over polling democrats like crazy. They are also statistically adjusting based on exit polls from the last presidential election. If you look at historically data on turnout, or you look at the 2010 data for turnout, the gains that Obama gets from those artificially inflated numbers go away. There are a few polls that show Romney ahead, and if you give 1/2 of the error or margin or 25% of the undecided voters to Romney, he wins in most swing states.

Yea, I don't even think it is going to be close.

AND your comments about folks talking about Obama in a good light are tempered by comments from folks worried about EVERY embassy in the middle east being attacked over the last couple days. HM.....

Finally, while I'm at it.......why are we not hearing about the embassy attacks as TERRORISM....because that is what it is.....TERRORISM.

Later,
