Overheard: Palin's surprising new base?

[grasswire]

Today I sat at a cafe in a booth behind a booth filled with four young men just graduated from high school. Loading up on carbs, they were about to go do some weight training. Clean cut, athletic young men. One might think that on a Saturday morning they would be talking about football or girls or movies.

Nope. The topic? Sarah Palin. They were extremely excited about the Palin candidacy. Reasons?

"She is commander in chief of the best-trained National Guard in the country."

"A governor has way more experience than a U.S. senator."

"She's tough as nails."

They went on and on and on, and they talked about her to the waitress and even to the cook.

Oboy. New, fresh voters.

1. The odds they actually remember to vote: 100 to 1

[grasswire]

2. ha, good point (eom)

[amitten]

3. Clearly, they were already interested in McCain.

If Palin was Obama's running mate, they would not have been talking this way.

McCain is not winning hoardes of new voters with this ploy...sorry.

[Franks Wild Years]

4. "Blue Chip" Republitools, no doubt.

They'll vote for whoever their Daddy does.

[skooooo]

5. Where exactly did this take place??

What state are you in?

[grasswire]

7. oddly enough...

....it was in a very, very blue part of a blue town in a blue state. I nearly fell out of the booth; it's so unusual to hear any conservatism in urban areas of the Pacific Northwest.

[frogcycle]

did they happen to use the term "milf?"

I wouldn't get too worried about there being a huge groundswell of these idiots.

6. And she looks good in a bikini

[grasswire]

8. is that photo shopped?

Can't tell anymore.

[baldguy]

21. Don't know.

Found on the internets - distributed on same.

9. "A governor has way more experience than a U.S. senator."

Way to trash the guy at the top of their own ticket.

[melody]

10. They were GOPher. Young GOPhers are stupid bigots n/t

[quiet.american]

11. Something tells me these gullibles were not going to vote Dem anyway.

They better thank their lucky stars that in spite of their naivete, the world will never see a McCain presidency that would put their clean-cut, athletic tushes into the midst of yet another criminal invasion and occupation where they would have to look back and reflect -- "WTF were we thinking?"

[No Elephants]

12. The guys in my diner say the guys in your diner hate Palin even more than McCain.

[melody]

16. The guys in my diner say they agree with the guys in your diner

What's more, they have called ahead to all the other diners in the chain in the contiguous 48 and the other 2 and all
THEIR guys agree with us! :)

13. Her new base: Hooters customers.

[mitchum]

14. And if Lindsey Graham had been McCain's pick, they would have gone on and on....

about his exquisite taste and impressive collection of show tunes.
Those young idiots were already on board with McCain.

[mac56]

15. *cough* horndogs *cough*

Don't give them another moment of thought.

[underpants]

22. Exactly

DING DING DING

[GoesTo11]

17. Comm.-in-chief of the best trained national guard in the country???

Who are they fighting in Alaska, and what has their commander-in-chief done? She trained them? WTF? From now on, every governor is a military expert because they have their state national guards under their command. Salvation army counts too.

[AlCzervik]

18. funny that, i haven't met one person yet irl that knows about her and that she's McCain's vp nod.

[Canuckistanian]

19. Wow, that's.....

....fucked up.

What are they PUTTING in steroids these days?

[progressiveforever]

20. Jesus told them to vote her

Young fundos!
