in 2006 when I joined the military at age 51, no prior service (long, weird story), related a great story to me this evening about the election in GA. I had forgotten he retired to GA after leaving the Army.
He mentioned that, all his life, he's been a conservative and that there was "no way in hell" he'd ever vote for Walker. Moreover, he said that a week ago a Walker canvasser had come to his door to urge him to vote Walker.
"NO WAY!" my friend exclaimed to the guy. "Why are *you* voting for him?"
The young man seemed taken aback, paused, looked down, and responded quietly, "To be honest, Sir, I've already voted for Warnock."
"Then why are you knocking on doors for Walker?"
The guy smiled broadly and replied, "Oh, that's easy! They've been paying me like $2000 a month to canvass for him. Easy money!"
Two pieces of good news in one, I'd say.

What are the odds???
Thank you so much.
