3. I did

Was flying out of Milwaukee this afternoon and spoke to a young black man who works at the airport. Asked him who he voted for and he said WALKER and, after I picked myself up from off the ground, I asked why. He said he was raised to not take handouts (so, OK, his entire family has bought the crapola) so I explained to him that the Rethugs were out to take everything away from him and that I really like my SS check each month and did he really think he would ever get HIS SS check at an older age? He looked stymied and provided no answer but to reiterate that he was taught to never take "handouts". I also explained that it was the Dems that had a long history of helping people like me/him and not the Repubs. Then I asked him if he voted Obama in '08 and he said yes and that he will also vote Obama in November. So yes, Virginia (and Wisconsin) YOU CAN BUY AN ELECTION.
