Wear an Obama T-shirt shopping at the grocery store. Look at the reactions you get from nodding approval to disgust. Its fun Try IT!

7. I'm lucky
I live in one of the biggest swing counties in PA. As such we see the candidates and first term Presidents all the time.

Kerry carried my county in 2004 by 190 votes.

2. My hubby wore a Kerry T-shirt every single day that he wasn't
working for the months leading up to the 2004 election. He never got a bad reaction. But then again, we're in liberal California. Do you really get looks of disgust? Do you think these same people would have looked disgusted if you wore a Kerry T-shirt in 2004, or is this racism?

5. I ran into my 6th grade teacher
and other than he was happy I had a good job and was doing well was not happy with my T-shirt :rofl:

Yeah I got an old guy who saw the shirt and smiled and gave me a hi and a young redneck with a camo hat who gave me a disgusted look.

I live in North Eastern PA. We are mixxed here.

6. LOL
I'm no prince 5'5 and could stand to lose about 15 pounds. However by all demographic studies I should be with McCain :-)

We need White people of all sizes out with Obama shirts.

8. LOL I've done this and haven't had any looks of disgust but
it seems to give some men the excuse to stare at a woman's chest.

10. Get one of the shirts with the design at the waist. I thought that was very clever of the campaign!

11. I've even started indoctrinating the children....
The 2 oldest mcctataettes and myself all wore them to field day at their school. Funny thing is, even in our ultra-red county we had a mostly positive response and requests to pose for a bunch of pictures from other families. Next Sunday I think we'll wear them to my in-laws fundie church picnic;)
