three things from this weekend.....
1) Joseph Abboud, the designer, works out in my gym- nice guy....big Red Sox and everything Boston fan....told me he absolutely loves Romney and want him to desperately win...told me Romney will do wonders for the country considering what he had to do in Mass (for better or worse)...said Romney’s tickets for the Red Sox were right next to his and said Romney was the nicest guy in the world...told me he took his sister to a game and left to buy drinks, dogs, etc....upon his return he found Romney and the sister talking away- the sister said “Joe, this nice man just explained baseball to me in the 20 minutes you were away”...Joe said he told his sister- “you know who that is?? that’s the governor of Massachusetts...
2) a Jewish woman from the gym is good friends with Michael Strahan, former All Pro DE with the NY Giants...she told me Strahan told her he feels Romney is one of the classiest politicians of the past 25 years and he can’t wait to vote for him....
3) i live in an uber liberal section of NY; New Castle- 2 miles from the Clintons, 1 mile from RFK Jr...i’m out on my run Saturday morning wearing my “OBAMA MUST GO!” shirt- big broad letters across my shirt...a woman, who turned out to be hispanic, rolls down her window as she’s waiting a the red light and says, in a heavy hispanic accent, “I love your T-shirt!! beat obama!!”...
Could it be that you happen to live in a particular area of NYC’s suburbs that is Republican?
I mean I live in Long Island and I know of MANY suburbs here that will never vote for Obama.
I’ll vote against Obama anyway, but I’m not optimistic about the Empire State.
Whether we like it or not, NY will go Obama. Not being pessimistic, just realistic.
Love hearing about your experiences! I’m in deep blue Minnesota and the 0bama bumperstickers are not to be found. Not much enthusiasm for the 0ne, even here. It’s encouraging, but I won’t stop holding my breath until after election day.
