Got a call today from a LIVE Republican pollster------------

Usually we get the very annoying robo-calls, but today a live man called and asked if I had a few moments to answer some questions. 
I said, "Are you a Republican?"
 He said, "yes." 
I said, "I'm not, I am a Southern, Liberal, yellow-dog, Clintonian Democrat. and if you still want to talk, go right ahead." 
He says, "Why? Do you like the way this country is headed?"
I said , "No, not all of the way it's headed."
He asked, "What do you find to like?"
I said, "ACA, the Dream Act, keeping student loan rates reasonable, the programs to Make Homes Affordable and curb foreclosures, education reform."  "We should get out of those useless wars of choice too.  Obama is a lot more Centrist than I would like, but hey , in the next four years he can finish what he has started by creating jobs programs, which I believe is the key to getting the country back on track economically."
There was a brief silence--------"YOU are to the left of Obama?"
"Yes."
He said, "OH NO!"

We both started laughing, and I said, "You cast your vote and I'll cast my vote and then we will see how the country will be headed."

He ended on a big laugh----------so did I.

Ain't America great?  I love that Virginia is a swing state--------Obama will probably sweep Va. much to the chagrin of a LOT of other Virginians.

Polls, what kind of polls have you gotten?

Today,( ha ha ha) the poll dujour says that O has the swing states by an increasing margin.
New day, new poll.  We get calls from both campaigns every night at dinner-------some want to poll our choices.   The locals up for re-election have a propaganda recording------I HATE those.

If it's a Repub poll I tell them I am a Liberal Dem and they can fill in the blanks.  If it's a Dem poll I tell them I am already in------and don't call again while I am having dinner.  The worst part is the caller ID shows "caller not identified." Grrrrrrrr------------------

The Repubs say, "Thank you for your time ma'am" or "well good luck with that."
