A friend of mine declared the 2008 election as the "Year of the 'Hey I'm Cool, I voted for a Black Guy' Voter".
BTW he did this in 2008.
I think maybe we are seeing his declaration validated on 2012.
Yep, I’ve only seen 3 Obama signs in our small town in North-central Illinois (pop. 9,500). People who I know are democrats, and would proudly display their signs at presidential elections, are curiously absent of them this year. They’ve discovered just how much “cool” costs...
The advice I like that is similar goes like this:
“You voted for Obama in ‘08 to prove you weren’t a racist.
Now vote for Romney in ‘12 to prove you aren’t an idiot.”
