Locker room election poll

Move over, Gallup and CNN.

This afternoon I was about to leave the locker room of the gym I attend, when a fellow I know by sight walked in. We exchanged greetings and I asked him if he was ready for the election to be over. He said yes, and then said this:

“I’ve been a Republican all my life. Always voted Republican. The last eight years, I feel like the Republican Party has left me. I can’t believe the mess they’ve made. I’ve always thought Joe Biden would make a good President. Obama is okay, but I really respect Joe Biden.”

He paused and shook his head as if he couldn’t believe what he was saying. He concluded:

“I’ve already voted. I voted yesterday. For Obama and Biden.”
