(7,572 posts)...Republican district. People were coming in for signs, buttons, etc... One elderly lady climbed clumsily up our front steps asking for a bumper sticker. I jumped up and showed her our selections....she divulged in a whispery voice that she was a Republican, but wanted an Obama sticker, and a button. Apparently she had only voted the straight Republican ticket her whole life, because she asked me how she could vote for Obama.... I explained how the ballot would look, and showed her the actual ballot.... I asked if she had considered voting for other Democrats on the ticket, asked how she viewed the current incumbent Repub. Congressman, and she shook her head and rolled her eyes at the thought!! I encouraged her to consider several other Democrats on the ballot. Her visit made my day!!!
