Just returned from a quick dash out shopping for stocking stuffers here in Austin. In the parking lot I noticed a car with an Obama '08 bumper sticker. The woman who exited the car could have been any Austin Democrat.
I smiled and complimented her on the sticker - she laughed and said thanks - who is your candidate?
I replied that I am currently backing Edwards but being lobbied hard by my 20 year old son for Obama and my mother in the Ozarks for Clinton.
I thanked her for helping me overcome the trauma of seeing my first Huckabee and Fred '08 stickers yesterday.
She smiled and said, aren't all of our candidates great. She and her husband had attended Obama's first event here in Austin (as had my son).
Then she said, "I'd be Proud to vote for any of them."
Me too.
It's a great time to be a Democrat in Austin.
Y'all come visit next July, you hear?
