I got to thinking about the phrase "deer caught in the headlights" when I was out canvassing today and talked to a few republicans.
one lady who'd been shoveling GOP-TV talking points at me complained that her son was having a hard time as he was in the housing industry.
I said, "when did the housing market crash?"
her eyes glazed over and she was speechless.
***********************************************************
another man mockingly teased 'good luck' to me.
I then asked, "are you 100% behind Romney?"
his eyes glazed over and he said nothing.
