While I was running around my very Republican suburban town today, a half-dozen people stopped me, pointed to my Kerry-Edwards button and said pointedly, “I like your button.”
One older woman, wearing a witch’s Halloween costume while she rang up my order at the card shop, said, “I wish I had one.”
“That’s okay, just vote,” I said. “Bring a folding chair, it’s gonna be a long wait.”
“Do you really think he’s going to win?”
“Absolutely. That’s why you have to get out and vote - so we take Congress, too.”
The checker at the supermarket said, “I don’t turn 18 for another month. I wish I could vote for Kerry.”
“Yeah, but you can still nag your friends,” I said.
“Oh, don’t worry. I do,” she said.
And the Kerry lawn signs are everywhere, like dandelions after rain. Even the houses displaying the Republican lawns signs are only pushing the congressional and state rep candidates.
They say it’s a dead heat here. I say it’s not even close.
