While taking a cab to an evening function with some colleagues, we asked the cabbie what he thought about the election. He demurred not wanting to offend us, until we told him we were all Canadian anyway.
Cabbie: "I'm leaning towards Obama then."
Me: "Why?"
Cabbie: "Because I don't want any more damn Republicans running things."
He also told us that another fare had called him a socialist for supporting Obama.
Now that I've had this conversation, I'm ready to be Dean of the Washington Press Corps. WaPo, my email is in my profile if you want to make an offer.
