Last night on the ABC7 Eyewitness News out of LA they had election coverage from Las Vegas of the primaries and caucuses. As part of their background reporting they talked to their driver who expressed his support for Obama based upon positions and thought it was wonderful that a fellow black man could be in the White House. Limo driving was actually his third career. Until last summer he had been a mortgage broker in the hot hot Las Vegas market but that all dried up in August. The reporter proceeded to query him as to if he will be voting in the caucus. The driver replied, "Actually I cannot vote owning to a previous felony conviction." :Prior to being a mortgage broker he was a car thief. You can't make this stuff up.

Gotta try to take it... first.
Saw the story on ABC news too. Found it quite hilarious. Always nice when the media is talking to a convicted felon to get an idea of what people are thinking about the political world.
I like the way they call themselves loan "officers", as if their jobs entail serious training and many years education.
Hey Lou,
You should consider the possibility that they are merely dyslexic and confronted with the difficulties of pronouncing their job of "loan orifice".
NR
Quit hatin' on the Democrats' primary voter base. ;)
