[NoBushSpokenHere]

Just an update of my conversations of the past few days in Ohio

1. Spoke to a Republican that hates bush yesterday - he don't want either candidate to win because he "Doesn't want to pay anyone else's insurance costs" - "He doesn't like McCain but figure he would be better than our candidates" - of course, I said "So the health plans would be a drop in the bucket to your trillion dollar war that shouldn't of been waged but you won't agree to pay a minute amount for insurance coverage for all?" You should of heard the silence, of course I followed it with, "One thing for sure this year, you hard nosed Republicans can't say the first damn word about 'Tax and Spend' Democrats this year" adding, "You have outspent us ten ways to Sunday" Conversation ended abruptly.

2. Spoke to a few people going to see Bill Clinton today. I said I had thought about going but felt guilty doing so as I am supporting Obama, they laughed and said, yes, they were too, but didn't want to pass up the opportunity to see him speak.

3. Spoke to 3 people who were voting Hillary.

4. Spoke to someone who confided in me they had talked to people in Southeast Ohio that are planning to stay home because they won't vote for a woman, a black man, or a republican.

5. Heard that you cannot get close to an Obama event (people lined up for blocks waiting to get in).

6. Agreed to go to a Clinton event if a cousin that supports Clinton would attend an Obama event with me.

7. Spoke to people in a diner who said they were voting Obama because they didn't like Hillary.



Yes, I am supporting Obama and do not mean this post as a flame - just reporting what I am hearing here in Ohio.
