NewHampster's report from the Las Vegas Strip
I've been in Vegas on "business" all week and of course I wore my Hillary lapel pin everywhere I went.



Things look good for Hillary out here, if the strippers are any clue.

I've managed to visit an assortment of Las Vegas entertainment venues, strictly for research purposes. At every stop the young ladies would seek me out and say how cool it was to see a guy supporting Hillary. Two of the women, both mothers, said they had registered to vote for the first time ever, just so they can vote for Hillary.

Believe it or not we actually discussed issues and what seemed so important to these women was #1 Health care and #2 Hillary's understanding of Women's issues. They think it's time for a woman president who will as always cleanup after the boys.

On a lighter note. I spent the week with hundreds of business associates from New Hampshire and my republican boss asked me to take off the pin. I politely refused saying that the exhibit hall we were working in was full of NH voters. I was shocked at how many of those supposed conservative NH republicans and Democrats came up to me and offered support. They won't say so publicly for fear of business reprisals, but they like Hillary.

WooHOO

I Love Las Vegas.

4. Let me know if you need an assistant
I have valuable experience with strippers (well, it cost me a lot of money, so I guess it was valuable)

14. Not to burst your bubble, but...
I suspect that the ladies at Vegas entertainment venues would fawn over any feature.

15. reminds me of an funny story . . .
"I've managed to visit an assortment of Las Vegas entertainment venues, strictly for research purposes." . . .

some years ago, a colleague at work was scheduled to make a trip to Nevada for something or other . . . so a few of us got together and asked him to get us t-shirts from the Mustang Ranch . . .

well, he actually went out there, and found himself in a waiting area where there was a reception desk and a bunch of women waiting around for customers . . . when he informed the guy at the desk that he only wanted t-shirts, the guy called his boss in for consultation . . . when told what was going on, the boss became somewhat incredulous . . .

"We've never had anyone who ONLY wants t-shirts!" he said . . . :)
