This was a bulletin post by one of my myspace friends... please read...
"I'm not sure if anyone else was listening to Q107.5 this morning when Laddy was out by the U of M asking students who they were going to vote for in the upcoming election..I turned the radio on in just in time to hear him ask one girl the same question, "Who are you going to vote for?" The girl stated, "Obaaaama."..Laddy responded with, " That's cool, how do you feel about the fact that he has the first female running mate?" She replied, " I think it's awesome." Next question, "Do you think that it's incredibly respectable that your candidate was a P.O.W?" She replied, " I think it's amazing...really great"....The last question really got her. He asked her how she felt about her candidate being a die-hard Republican. The girl seemed stumped, and stated " Obama's not a republican."..... This only goes to show you that there are tons of people out there who are gonna vote on a candidate that they know nothing about...and that's scary....The conversation that I heard this morning was not only shocking, but sort of annoying, right??? If you're gonna vote...please know the facts about who you're voting for and the things that they stand for...
