Reply #21: I was at the fair tonight [View All]

I bought myself a nice Kerry Edwards button and wore it proudly. I must say I was shocked an appalled by the number of people wearing Bush buttons. Although earlier posts seem to say differently I noticed at least 1/3 more Bush buttons than Kerry.

A friend and I went to investigate, though. I took off my Kerry button (which cost $2, mind you) and we went over to the Repub booth. I felt icky the whole time, but I think we figured it out. The buttons at the repub booth were only .50 or 3 for $1. People are more likely to purchase a button for that price than for 2 bucks.

One thing I definately noticed, though, was that the Repub booth was icky, tucked in the middle of nowhere and not very busy. Our beautiful DFL booth is right in the middle of the action, it's open and lovely and it was packed every single time we walked by there!

Go DFL!
