Have you ever seen a movie where when a certain person walks into a room, the room goes silent, and its all whispers and mumbles? Thats what happened when I went to vote this afternoon ;)
I walked into the polling location in my town wearing my RON PAUL R[EVOL]UTION sweat shirt, and I had the WHOLE room staring at me :D As I was signing my name all I heard around me was "He is wearing a Ron Paul shirt!...." "Isnt he running?" "That guys shirt has Ron Paul on it....." Apparently, they thought I was breaking some rule. Well I got in the booth just fine and wrote in Ron Paul for president :D:D:D Then as I was walking out I saw all the people just staring at me, all I did was smile at them and proceded to keep walking out. As I was about to leave some old guy said "hey! Hey!" I turned around to him and he told me Im not suppose to wear anything thing with a candidates name on it at a polling station. I told him that Ron Paul was not on the ballot and he was no longer a candidate, he didnt say anything else to me :p
After voting I went to get a hair cut and had a little discussion about politics with him. He eventually asked me who I voted for. I told him - Ron Paul. His reaction was priceless LOL. At first he was shocked, and then commended me for actually voting for him. He said that he thought Everyone my age was voting for Obama, and he was not at all expecting me to say Ron Paul. For about 5 minutes straight he just stammered on, saying Good Job, Goob Job. After he regained his composure he said he had asked everyone else who came in for a hair cut today who they voted for and I was Really surprised what the results were. He said of everyone he asked today the results were 11 McCain, 2 Obama, 1 Ron Paul - :p I thought New Jersey was leaning towards Obama, so I didnt expect such a number favoring McCain.
Well I will be up late tonight watching the election results, its certainly going to be intresting if it follows anywhere close to 11-2.
