I heard a bombshell yesterday.
Mrs WBill informed me that her mother, a life-long Southern Dem who still introduces me (after 10+ years) as "That Yankee Republican" ....
....will NOT be voting for any of the incumbents in 2012. I said, "Does that include Obama and (our current resident idiot governor) Bev Perdue?".
She said "Especially them." Apparently, my M-I-L took a look at her 401K and wasn't all that happy about what's been happening to it over the past 2-3 years. Between that and her real estate investments, and all of the ObamaCare falderol, she's been taking a real beating.
She still has time to change her mind. But knowing her as I do, I don't see that happening. I figure that the Devil is getting fitted for ice skates about now. Good news, IMO. If that's not a good sign for the GOP, I dunno what is.
There is hope for a change if GOP does not get the blame for the financial woes. But a good sign.
Merry Christmas!
