As I’ve stated in the past, I don’t like to discuss politics on dates, or with potential dates. Discussing such touchy subjects on a first date usually leads to no second date, and discussing it prior to a date, usually leads to no date at all. So when the woman I spoke to last night on the phone asked me who I was supporting in the presidential race, I was hesitant to answer - but I did anyway. When I told her Obama was my man, she got a bit perturbed.
