Microcosm of the Democratic and Republican conventions this year. Indeed it mirrors the polling on partisan enthusiasm.

I saw the triple candidate bumper sticker on my way home from work today

Vets for Madia, Franken, and Obama ‘08

still waiting to see either a norm or mccain yard sign, come to think of it, i haven’t seen either as a bumper sticker either!

Hey! When I was at the State Fair last week, I saw one guy (and only one) wearing a big huge button of McCain’s image with the word ‘hero’ on it, presumably for his 5.5 years of service as a POW in Vietnam.

Wonder how many leftovers of those buttons, and what the sale price is on them now?

Obama buttons were ‘out of stock’ at the DFL booth, and people were going to the Obama booth to que up for them.

I think it would be fun to hang around & document what Perot used to call “a sucking sound” at Coleman’s booth.

I’m sure there’s a local cosmological event, perhaps a black hole - that is responsible for sucking all the air out of
this universe & maybe even teleporting Coleman supporters to another.

So don’t think of the Coleman booth as being empty. Think of it as another, empty, universe.
