It's true. I've had people swear to me up and down that they were going to buy something only to have them cancel out. It's EASY to promise to do something but following up on that promise is a whole other case.

BTW, I've already had some REAL LIFE insight into this election yesterday which was the first day of early voting here in Broward County. I voted at the North Regional Library and the turnout was VERY LIGHT. Only three other people voting the whole time I was there. It was about 5 PM when you would figure folks have time to turn out. The other three people were very elderly Condo Commando types who turn out for EVERY election. No "regular" folks there (if you don't count me). Oh, and the FUnniest thing was one of the elderly ladies struggling to vote on the Votronic Electronic Machine. I saw her when I came in and about 4 minutes later when the poll people checked out my ID and everything, she was still there. The voting guy assigned me the machine next to hers and I could see she couldn't figure out how the hell to use it even though it is simple as hell. It was like she was struggling to pass a really hard final exam. It took me less than five minutes to vote and guess what? The lady next to me was still there. I walked outside, went to the bathroom, took a drink of water, and peeked back in the voting room. The clueless lady was still there struggling with the Votronic machine.

Oh, and I didn't see anyone else enter the voting room. VERY LIGHT turnout.
