Forget the candidates for a minute. Yesterday, I had to run to wallyworld (i know, i know). I bought a newspaper that had information about the primaries on them. The lady at the checkout said "did you know that this year we have two democrats running against each other for president. There are no republicans on the ballot this year."
I thought maybe I misunderstood her.
"You mean the primaries that we get to cast our vote in on Tuesday?"
"The election. This year, no republicans are running." (I'm sure the republican candidates will be happy to hear that.)
"No...for the primaries, there is Obama, Clinton and Gravel and the republicans have McCain, Romney, Huckabee and Paul".
"No, there are no republicans"
"uh huh"
So she went on about how exciting it is that we have two dems running.
"Yes, it's exciting this year...This really is history in the making for the democrats. We have a black man and a woman. Whomever wins will be an excellent candidate."
"Well, don't you go voting for someone just because she's a woman"
"ok"
Wow. No wonder Wal-Mart gets away with MURDER.
I don't think this lady had a CLUE...and I don't know that she supported any candidate....She didn't even know that we vote in the primaries on Tuesday....
But Holy COW. I can't believe that there are people who are so out of it.
