What caught me most was what he called his only negative experience, which was from a Democrat: the middle-aged man lost temper as he mis-spelt his name (Roland instead of Ronald) and hit on his head with a newspaper, then declared: "Would I vote for fucking McCain, you would not still be standing here!" LOL... maybe one of those rednecks angered enough by the economy to swallow the toad and vote for the Muslim terrorist Obama?... *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
....Boston-based emigree Hungarian writes up his experiences as Obama campaign worker. I read a part on a tour in New Hampshire. What caught me most was what he called his only negative experience

Ben Smith's Blog: Voting for Obama anyway - Politico.com
Reagan Dems and Independents. Call them blue-collar plus. Slightly more Target than Walmart. Yes, the spot worked. Yes, they believed the charges against Obama. Yes, they actually think he's too liberal, consorts with bad people and WON'T BE A GOOD PRESIDENT...but they STILL don't give a f***. They said right out, "He won't do anything better than McCain" but they're STILL voting for Obama. The two most unreal moments of my professional life of watching focus groups: 54 year-old white male, voted Kerry '04, Bush '00, Dole '96, hunter, NASCAR fan...hard for Obama said: "I'm gonna hate him the minute I vote for him. He's gonna be a bad president. But I won't ever vote for another god-damn Republican. I want the government to take over all of Wall Street and bankers and the car companies and Wal-Mart run this county like we used to when Reagan was President." The next was a woman, late 50s, Democrat but strongly pro-life. Loved B. and H. Clinton, loved Bush in 2000. "Well, I don't know much about this terrorist group Barack used to be in with that Weather guy but I'm sick of paying for health insurance at work and that's why I'm supporting Barack." I felt like I was taking crazy pills. I sat on the other side of the glass and realized...this really is the Apocalypse. The Seventh Seal is broken and its time for eight years of pure, delicious crazy....
This is the effect that shows up in Democratic canvassing in terms of "I'm voting for the n****r." After building up the racist vote since Nixon, the Republicans are getting worried about it ebbing in influence, and then wham, everything is fast-tracked by the economic crisis. "Obama'll do things I hate, but McCain will destroy the economy." I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
