Well, I just returned yesterday from a pleasant visit w/ friends to your area - we spent some time in the 'burbs, and I saw few signs for either candidate.
Our friends claim to be non-political, although I think the hubby is a closet tea-partier. He mostly tried to keep his conservative feelings to himself, I think mainly because he knows me & my progressive leanings & he had very little to offer up in support of Romney. I don't think the Republican platform excites him much. I'm not even sure if either of them are registered to vote.
Here in California, folks keep asking me why I support Obama since he 'wants to shut down NASA' (my hubby's employer). I usually just blink and tell them that's just not true. Where do they get this stuff? One guy just today asked me if I was serious in my support of the president, since he 'closed down the shuttle program'. Huh? At least he let me explain the basics of the NASA budget, and thanked me for filling him in.
The conservative/tea-bagger bubble just keeps getting bigger & bigger.
