   Well I wasn't planning any signs anyway.  But I think now that I   
   consider it, I've not seen ANY signs other than the ones the campaign   
   gives out at ANY rally since the KKK incident.  Did anyone remember   
   that one a couple weeks ago?  About 20 black people (mostly men it   
   appeared) had signs saying the KKK supports Obama and basically he's a   
   sell out... also something about Michelle Obama which I couldn't read.   
   They made them leave.  I guess they could make them leave because they   
   were noisy and maybe there's a noise ordinance, but the news said it's   
   their right to protest.   
      
   Why can't we do it?  I wonder now, is McCain doing this too?  This may   
   influence me and my vote.  I am not sure where I stand still.  They   
   BOTH suck.  Basically I was with McCain until the past week or so.   
   Originally in the beginning I was for Obama till I sat and logicially   
   thought about the plans he has... but now, they are both on my nerves.
