So ... I'm pulling into a parking garage and this woman knocks on my car window .......

..... I gave her a sort of dirty look, I'm sure. Who was this woman bothering me?

She was well dressed so it appeared unlikely she was a panhandler. I roll down my window.

"I'm leaving sooner than I thought, and there's a lot of time on my meter, if you want it."

Well, Mama Stinky didn't raise no dummies.

I pull out of the spot I'd just pulled into and followed her. She unlocks a big ol' Mercedes SUV. I roll my window down and say to her (as I am smiling ear to ear) "I'll take your spot if you promise to vote for Obama."

She smiles back.

"That's a foregone conclusion!" she says.

2. I used to live in Silver Spring!

I miss it so much. I am stuck in Florida. I lived off of Randolph Rd.

Are the leaves changing yet?

5. I loved autumn up there.

And being able to watch all the Redskins games without having to go to a sportsbar or pay DirecTV.

Thanks for sharing your little tale, it was nice.

4. Never make a judgement based on the vehicle.

In Maine everybody has a truck with a flag flying on it. Lots of them are dems!

10. Actually, not the least bit surprised

Pleased .... not surprised.

Also, she was black, so there was a reasonably high likelihood she was a Dem.

13. Sorry . . . . .

I guess I mis-interpreted your post. I take the Merto into DC quite often.

11. that's a great feeling!

last week i was helping my husband get out of the car ( he's had 2 strokes) when a woman jogging by, stopped and asked if she could ask me a question---'where did you get your obama sign?'

i told her, she thanked me, wished me a great day and continued jogging.

this is amazing because i live in RED Orange Cty, Ca!

( have not seen one mccain sign in my tract, but lots of obama signs and bumper stickers---makes me soooooo happy!)
