"You don't look like a guy who'd vote for Obama"

That is what someone said to me earlier today. A little background. I finally got a Saturday off work, and decided to watch my Iowa Hawkeyes on TV. At halftime, I decided that I was bored sitting here alone, so I went to a local watering hole for a burger, fries and a beer or two. I wore my Obama button, as I always do and in the midst of cheering another Shonn Greene TD, a guy looked at me and exclaimed "You're supporting Obama? You don't look like a guy who'd vote for Obama." I said that "McCain is a dangerous lunatic who will ruin this country for good if he's elected". The guy then left me alone, for which I was greatful.
I sat and mulled over his statement for a few minutes and decided that what he said was likely a racist code meaning that fat bald beer drinking football fans can't support a man of color for President. Or that I don't look like some type of sandal wearing, latte sipping, long haired idealist that he probably has in his mind about Democrats. Either way, I decided that he isn't too smart and that I want nothing further to do with him. Oh yeah, The Hawks smashed the Badgers 38-16 with Greene scoring 4 TD's and gaining 205 yards.
