Don't overestimate "Joe Six Pack".

I chat with them about neighborhood stuff every now and then. They are usually out having a beer when I get back from walking the dog. So we talk about the kids, the trash pickup, and general goings on. They noticed my Obama sticker in 2008, and told me they were lifelong Republicans.

So, I've generally avoided political subjects.

Over the last year and a half, they have increasingly brought up politics on their own, and quite frankly they're not buying the GOP/FOX bullshit anymore.

They've given me a lot of hope for Joe Six Pack.
