A great thing happened today in NC!

My coworker and I were walking on our lunch break through a neighborhood. We noticed there were a lot of political signs. (more Obama-Biden signs than Romney-Ryan YAY!) Anyway we came across this one home with the garage door open and sadly a Romney Ryan and a Virginia Fox sign..... We walked on.. Something then happened.. WHEN we walked back towards that home an elderly women came out of that garage with a OBAMA-BIDEN SIGN and a Elisabeth Motsinger SIGN.. SHE REMOVED THE Republican SIGNS and proudly put the DEMOCRATS signs in the ground! MY Coworker and I clapped and cheered her on!! She smiled at us, and explained to us that she is for the President and that Virginia FOX is no good! We changed minds last night in NC and across the country. Tomorrow when I cast my vote for Barack Obama I will feel proud that we are another vote closer to Victory in November. We can win North Carolina for Obama again. I know we can!!!

is an absolute idiot but she's in a safe seat. She usually wins on the order of 64-36. Her losing would be a hugh upset but one can always hope.
