so.... I just voted for obama today. and said hello to the man holding the clinton sign

[seabeyond]

it was interesting in some regards, my voting experience in amarillo texas. ultra conservative, religious belt. more voting dem than what i thought. and book by cover really was relevent today seeing who was holding a clinton sign. older, white, cowboy like male proudly holding a clinton sign. that could get one called girlie man in this area. i went in to vote for obama, but was so impressed with the man i had to go over and say hi, good job.... i was impressed. he was happy to have some to chat with that was democrat even though we were both voting different people, we were able to be repsectful and appreciative of the other

also.....

2 white areas tons of hillary sign. no obama signs. i was so disappointed to see no obama signs, and surprised cause i must have had a good 13-15 calls from them and only two from hillary people. went thru a black neighborhood, tons of obama and one hillary.

i dont like that.

gonna have to work on the democrats here in town during election, whomever wins.

1. Maybe the Obama signs were stolen. It happens. nt

[seabeyond]

7. nah, i dont thnk so. i was there so early in one area and in this area, never seen dems do it

just the good ole boy republicans, the bushco/rove republicans will take the other republicans, mere conservatives. but i have never seen dems misbehave.

2. It's sad that the party that tries to champion equality may be split because of it.

America has a LONG way to go.

6. It was by design

the MSM chose these 2 candidates for us...to ultimately cause a rift in the party.
It is sad because I feel we WILL have a split in the party between young and old, male and female, and even along racial lines.
It is sad because if only one of these candidates were in there...we'd have had a chance to prove how far we have come.
Instead it set us back 30 years.

8. Go peddle your conspiracy theories somewhere else.

You could start Kucinichunderground.org. or something.

[Forkboy]

10. That's some deep thinking there.

[Horse with no Name]

14. I've been here a lot longer than your few weeks

why don't YOU go back to where you came from? Oh wait...I'm sure after today you will.

[Forkboy]

12. By design or not, it may well be the result.

16. From the start we only had two candidates

during the debates, during the press coverage, etc.
Obama and Clinton had unfettered access to the airwaves getting name recognition which was key.
We know who owns the airwaves...so we pretty much know WHY they did this.
Look at this mess. Our party is left with a pretty deep divide that won't heal anytime soon.

3. Just letting ya know

that it was really hard for my daughter and I to even get a bumper sticker in our area of Texas, let alone any signs.

They are just really hard to come by from what Ive been told!

[Saturday]

5. What's Obama doing with all of the money you folks are sending in

if he can't even provide enough signs. I think you've been snookered. lol

[seabeyond]

9. it was like that in this area for kerry. thanks. i forgot. n/t

[Horse with no Name]

4. I had 9 calls from Hillary and 0 from obama

Most were from the Austin area...but none in these parts.
I've not seen one obama sign or bumpersticker.
I have only seen a few Hillary signs and bumperstickers.
Mostly Ron Paul--billboards, yard signs, bumperstickers.

I haven't gone to vote yet. Was thinking about wandering that way in a bit.
But...my friend...it won't be to vote for obama.;)

13. Get out there and vote, then, and kiss the ballot (or screen) for me.

:hi:

[Horse with no Name]

17. We get ballots if we so choose

Gimme that pen and paper ANYDAY!

15. doesnt have to be for obama, i dont care. huge ass hillary sign at end of my street

this street is a funny all in itself. a main street for the neighborhood. i have like 8-10 dems, gays and nun (catholic minority in this area) all living on MY street. the only dems, gays and nuns in town, lol lol and we all picked this street. k.... that is an exaggeration, but to live in such a conservative place and end up with this, it is funny

but

i have this huge ass neat looking hillary sig at end of street. had already voted, chatted with hillary man with my niece. she knows i am for obama. see the nifty hillary sign and i am.... oooooh look, lookie, isnt that neat. look at that sign

clearly not my person yet.... i LOVED seeing democrat, hillary, female, strong, bold, loud.

my friend

lol

and hugs

[grantcart]

11. they have simply run out of signs over and over again

in San Diego we had to drive to LA they could never keep them in stock.

[bbernardini]

18. Obviously, you haven't learned anything from GD:P.

The proper response would have been to kick him in the nuts and tear up his sign. Same thing if he was an Obama supporter and you supported Hillary.

:sarcasm:

[seabeyond]

19. kick him in the nuts and tear up his sign..... bah hahha

that is why i am sharing my story with .... yawl

[blogslut]

20. Well, good for him

You're right. It takes a lot of nerve for a West Texas cowboy to hold a Hillary sign.

Are you going to caucus?

[seabeyond]

21. i am going ot caucus. went to pick up kids and ANOTHER hillary guy with his huge

yellow pick up truck and signs all over. woodward was chatting with him when i walked up to give him a hug. so funny. i had a huge conversation, rippin into woodward when he came to my door a couple weeks ago. then woodward says, is your husband.... is you father.... lol lol. was an oh shit.

anyway, he was there, we had a good laugh, chatted with hillary dude and was cute as pie, and waved goodbye. both he and i saying, anyone but a republican. lol lol. i am having a blast seeing all these dems out and about. so much fun. cant wait until this fall. FINALLY getting pumped this election

[blogslut]

22. Ain't it sweet?
