Halloween Party in Philadelphia last night - No Romney impersonators

When we went to Henri David's big Halloween Party four years ago - It's open to the public and has now been held for 44 years - there were at least two Sarah Palin's, a John McCain and a Ralph Nader impersonator. Plus a Barack and Michelle Obama.

This year - Barack was back but no Paul Ryan (even though there were lots of zombie's), no Mitts and only one Queen Ann who was a big guy in drag.

And when the guy doing Obama got up during the contest phase of the party, he got a big round of applause, apart from Count Dracula who was sitting in front of me.

OK - Philadelphia is a Democratic city, but we still have a few Republicans around and even a few Log Cabin Reptiles. But I think this is indicative of how people are viewing this election. Not even folks who would normally dare all didn't want to masquerade as Romney.
