Grrr!
I was hoping for more Obama supporter from Wm & Mary. Some students were there, but some carried McCain signs!!! One faculty member, as she identified herself, saw my sign and grabbed me excitedly, as if I were a long lost friend! Ha! We were standing in the middle of a bunch of McCain supporters on one side...and I remarked to her that I could not believe all these McCain supporters. She said "I know!" And replied loudly...making sure THEY heard, "Don't they READ!" One woman whipped her heard around and said 'read WHAT?!" I said "ANYTHING, news magazines, newspapers, the Washington Post." I could tell by looking at her that she wouldn't touch a computer keyboard. You know the type. Sigh.
Since I wanted to get closer to the front rope, I had to move to the other side and finally found myself with a number of Obama supporters! But they weren't the typical, white locals. Of course not. There were a large group of black folks who had driven down from Richmond this morning and arrived at 5:30!!! Very friendly. And I stood next to a group of gals from Canada with their sign "Canadians for Obama." Had a lovely chat with all of them.
For the back of my sign (I described the front in my state forum post), I printed this out a "Gigolo McBush/Caribou Barbie" bumpersticker !!! Yes, I did. ;)
Apparently it offended some folks. No sense of humor. ;)
Too bad it's so conservative here.
