My neighbor asked me, "You're not gonna vote for the black guy, are ya?"
I told her, "You gotta be kidding. Of COURSE I am!"

We talked a bit about how it was insanity to do the same thing over and over again, and expect a different result; it was time for a change, etc. I don't know if I convinced her or not, but I'm going to work on her. She's originally from MS, so maybe she's just prejudiced; she's in her eighties.

3. Tell her you're voting for his white half
which might be the most persuasive thing you can do with somebody that old from that part of the country.

4. The country has apparently developed a serious allergy to vanilla. Let's switch to chocolate.
