Overheard in my small town's diner. Disappointing.
Advertisements [?]
Small town diner, outstate Minnesota. I walked out feeling plenty disillusioned, based on the conversations heard all around me. To wit:

(1) The deregulation that caused the financial collapse? They blame it on Democrats.
(2) They thought it was Bush-bashing to lay this at his feet.
(3) One guy wanted to "string up" Barney Frank and Chris Dodd becaue of the bailout; another guy said "hang 'em on a couple of crosses."
(4) They thought Sarah Palin was as cute as a button in the debate. They were impressed with how down to earth she was, and how honest: "She's got more on the ball than Obama and McCain combined."

And each one of them is gonna vote, bless their hearts.

Quick, please; give me a reason to believe. Or not to move to Canada.
