Five minutes ago I was chatting with a truck driver making a delivery to my company. He was telling me that his business was very slow and that all of his customers were waiting until after the election to decide if they would expand, make orders, and hire people.
I could tell from his facial expression that the truck driver KNOWS that if Obama is reelected, the economy will slow and his business will suffer. He seemed apprehensive about an Obama win.
The guy was African-American.
The enthusiasm gap is widening.
Ventura Co., CA (north of L.A.) very few bumper stickers for either candidate this year. I did see a Romney/Ryan sticker yesterday and one Obama sticker today. But compared to 2008, when there was an Obama sticker on every 6th car, there’s a dearth of bumper stickers in this area this year.
