even though it was only about 3 questions long I ended up talking for 20 minutes to a very nice gentleman about all that is wrong in **'s world. I plugged DU while I was at it too, so if you see a newbie Mainah on here say hi. :) (As to the poll results he said it was a bit surprising because there were a lot of independents thinking about Obama but voting Repub down ticket. I conjecture that all the alienated conservatives in the area may be skewing the poll slightly rightward. "Independent" is such a difficult label to deal with because it's a catch-all phrase that doesn't really tell you much about people's politics.)
