GREAT Local article in my red state about Obama

before i give the link i just want to say that i think if all these people in red states who are skeptical and or put off by obama (for whatever reason) had a chance to meet him and shake his hand theyd all change their mind. like in this article, i think sometimes when someone has been demonized, it takes meeting them and having a first hand experience to completely change your perspective.
the man in the article whos restaurant obama stopped at is a STAUNCH republican, but he walked away from the experience saying "He was a real nice guy. He was really down to earth," said Seip. "I was really impressed. When you talk to someone personally like that it makes a difference." "Probably changed my mind one way or another"
people have been brainwashed, by whatever and whoever, to believe they should be AFRAID of the change obama will bring...atleast these locals discovered otherwise.

anyway, enjoy

i personally think if obama were to tour some red states and meet with people, hed gain ground by quite a bit

Like you say, if everone could meet the guy it would be all over. I don't think meeting McCain (or even Palin) would produce the same effect!

I think you probably mean "demonize", though, rather than "demonetize" (to remove the value from coinage). :)

i let spell check change words... shouldve looked to see what it was changing it to... thatll teach me to trust it ;)

piece of pie was for Sen. Obama


Was that some kind of Hawaiian prejudice? Coconut Cream Indeed !

because they didnt have the type of pie he wanted.
nor was it the first time hes been noted to have gotten coconut cream pie at a resturant hes stopped at.

so, its actually the truth. sorry to disappoint.
