I met the "guy down the street" from us who had 2 signs in his yard: one
Bush-Cheney, the other Kerry-Edwards. I was out walking the dog and met
him when he was out on his stoop. I asked him about it and he said that he
and his roommate put them up to give equal time to the candidates they
support. He said his was the Bush-Cheney sign. My friends Michael and
Richard had come over a week or so before and counted the Kerry-Edwards
signs coming up Wade Ave to my house and found there were more than the
Bush-Cheney signs (not an all-encompassing statistic, but something
interesting to do on a drive). The guy down the street said, "Yeah, I
mean, you expect to find more liberals in urban areas - you know, they're
better educated." So wtf does that have to say for himself - that he has
less of an education, so therefore votes Republican? 

Anyhow. An interesting anecdote. Hope he's happy now. Sorry about that cup 
of sugar, bub, not from my house. 

Cheers
