I got a call from an Obama campaigner last night. Nice guy, he I responded to him that I was essentially a Conservative, and when he asked whether I intended to vote for McCain, I allowed that I was, and wouldn't tie up any of his time necessarily. He made a joking sally about trickle-down economics, I responded with a jest of my own about Obamanomics. I wasn't going to change his mind nor he mine, but it was completely civil if fairly brief. A zero-bong event to be sure.
I don't know where he was calling from, most likely one of the two or three small university towns within my area code, as he had that senior-or-beginning-grad-student-age sound and manner of speech, but riding around this part of Missouri, Obama signs are actually outnumbered by the few die-hard Ron Paul signs that are still up. There are McCain-Palin signs literally everywhere.
