I live in an area with alot of Polish. Took my time voting, hung around awhile and talked to the election judges. It was not very busy at the polling place, no Polish voters came in while I was there. I know from talking with people in the neighborhood that they are politically conservative. Just don’t know if they are into the political process as much as they could be.

That's a shame. I figured they'd be electrified with the Walesa endorsement, however, that was an 11th-hour endorsement, and maybe they knew nothing of it. If you're not hooked into the Net, how would you know? My husband said he didn't hear about it on the radio, nor did he see anything about it in the newspaper. Did you perchance?

I’m a news junkie so I heard alot about it. The people in my neighborhood are really hard working...they don’t seem to spend much time on the internet or listening to the radio or watching tv. But they are fierce in their opposition to socialism—especially the older ones who experienced it in Poland. That was why I initially thought Adam had the best chance if he could hook into this group and draw them into the political process. I was just not impressed with him for alot of reasons. Using the Executive Order to govern, for example? I gave my support to Proft and I hope he runs for office again. Someone needs to do more outreach to that group of voters (Polish) and, as you say, not so close to the election so it has time to have an effect.
