I am having the same experience, S C. People feel the need to tell me why I should vote for the candidate whom they support, always assuming that I am voting for 'the other guy.' It is especially annoying when I have neither asked who they are voting for or told who I am voting for. Can you believe that someone said to me that because I am an intelligent woman who could see past skin color, he knew I would be voting for McCain? Is that a left-handed complement or what?
