Well, after they picked their jaws up off the checkout counter, they actually started stammering things like, “Well, you know we could do a lot worse. He would sure be better than what we’ve got now.”

One of them asked me what I thought of Santorum. I said, Well the only problem I have with him is that I still don’t know what Rick proposes to do that would solve any of the major problems in our country. Do you?” She laughed and said, “Well, I don’t either.”

They were both very nice, but boy would I have loved to be an invisible passenger in their car on the way home.

Getting people to think based on issues, instead of feelings or emotions is more than half the battle.

Good to hear from you!

Great response! Most people think and speak in little slogans they have heard over and over again. Hope n change, hope n change. Newt is flawed, Newt is flawed. Romney is inevitable, Romney is inevitable. O baaaaa ma, O baaaaaaa ma.

It’s great that you challenged the chant with a complete thought. That was brave and merciful.

Very, VERY inspiring.

How many people would even bother to explain to those ladies?

I really think this is exactly what Newt means by
"Please don't vote for me, vote WITH me!"
