It's getting thick here - Mc/P signs showing up, Obama signs disappearing,

[Left Is Write]

co-workers suddenly getting very vocally anti-Obama.

*sigh*

So to brighten my mood, I kicked in another few bucks to the campaign. :D

1. What state are you?

[Left Is Write]

4. Idaho.

[KewlKat]

6. Isn't Idaho usually pretty Red?

[Left Is Write]

8. It's as red as it gets.

[JimDandy]

23. Utah beats Idaho re redness, but I feel for you.

A western WA resident.

[Left Is Write]

24. Not by much.

I don't think I'd be far wrong if I said that Idaho was the 2nd reddest state in the Union.

[JimDandy]

25. I believe you're right.

I lived in Utah during the '04 election. The post-election map that year showed that Utah was the reddest state and Idaho came right after us. I'm so glad to be living in WA, even if it's the more conservative part of the state.

You've probably heard of Toad Hall, the Democratic hot spot in Spokane, WA. Normally the big Dem parties are held there. On Nov 4th, the blowout is going to be at the Red Lion Inn, in downtown Spokane. If you live within 90 miles of Spokane, come on over. No use moping over there in the red zone. I hear it's going to be another great party.

10. I feel bad for you and anyone else who lives in a red state

But we'll win the election for you. We WILL win this.

[PatSeg]

2. Where are you?

People could be getting scared as the election gets closer and as such, they are getting louder.

[Left Is Write]

7. It's very red here.

People are definitely getting louder; the political scene had been unusually quiet here this election cycle up until a few days ago.

[SuperTrouper]

15. Tell them to go to the bathroom, Larry is waiting for them in stall 2

[PatSeg]

16. I've heard so many ugly stories lately

and I figure it is the fear factor. After November 4th, they'll go back in their holes. They just need to make some noise and get some attention. I have to say I'm shocked at how blatantly racist many of them have been. I thought we'd evolved beyond that kind of rhetoric.

[Cattledog]

3. They'll be quiet on Nov 5th

[KewlKat]

5. Their all getting their panties in a wad

because deep down they know Obama is going to win and they're ascared.......fear, ignorance, hate, racism....etc. I blame McKKKain and Failin for some of this because of their campaign appearances spewing lies and inuendos.

9. One of the salesmen here was joking that Obama/Biden

Looked like Osama bin Laden if you just glanced at it.

I'm in a Milwaukee area suburb

12. One of the guys at work who was talking

is someone that usually I get along really well with. Politics has NEVER come up at work before, and I play it very close to the vest while I'm there.

He started repeating some of the right-wing talking points (Obama is naive, dangerous, inexperienced, nobody knows him, keeps talking about change but won't say how he's going to change anything). He was talking to someone else, but the conversation was very loud. After a few minutes, I said, "If you want to know what Barack Obama thinks, go to www.barackobama.com and read his plans. It's all there. He's laid out a Blueprint For Change, so you can stop saying that he 'won't tell people what his plan is.'"

His answer? "I don't want to get a virus."

:banghead:

[TheKentuckian]

28. knowledge is viral

and very difficult to cure.

[a kennedy]

11. We just had t wo Obama/Biden signs go up along with one

Al Franken sign, now there are three Obama/Biden in our neighborhood. :toast: :bounce: :thumbsup: :dem: :headbang: :woohoo: :patriot:

[scheming daemons]

13. Hahaha... you had me worried.... until I saw you are in Idaho

Mormons are as reliably Republican as they come.

[Left Is Write]

17. There are a lot of non-Mormons here, and it isn't the Mormons I've heard talking.

Frankly, I think the LDS population is still disappointed that Romney wasn't chosen.

[renate]

14. at least you chose a healthy, productive way to deal with your stress! :) n/t

:thumbsup:

[Left Is Write]

18. I had to do something.

Getting into a political argument at work wouldn't have been the right approach! :)

[LiberalAndProud]

19. I feel your pain.

:hug: What can our neighbors be thinking?

[Left Is Write]

20. I wonder that. I really do.

What would drive someone to vote for the McCain we've seen these last few months?!

[Fla Dem]

21. Since the polls opened in Florida, all of a sudden lots & lots of McCain

bumper stickers. Saw a few Obama, but so far outnumbered about 4-1. In the NE part of Florida, red county.

[FLyellowdog]

22. Saw a new McCain/Palin sign in my neighborhood today...just across the street.

Might do some late night manuevering.

[Motown_Johnny]

26. The Death Throws Of The McCalin Supporters.. their hopes and dreams are dieing

[Neecy]

27. Same here

My Obama lawn sign was stolen a couple of weekends ago, and almost immediately a McCain sign appeared in the lawn across the street. The guy smirks and chuckles whenever he sees me. I have no doubt he stole mine while he was putting up his.

So, I got some party favors for election night. Hopefully Obama will be called early (don't want to disturb my many *good* neighbors) and when he is these are going to be directed right at his house, with appropriate whooping and cheering. Can't wait.
