3. Yay!
I just walked past a guy heading for his Bush stickered pickup and announced aloud to Mr. Gray that I couldn't wait to get my Obama t-shirt. Guy spun around to see who I was. I wiggled my fingers at him. Asshole.

20. Probably not. Obama carried it overwhelmingly....

23. It's not too late to reject and denounce your state
and move to one of the Hillary-designated important states. :rofl:
