Funny story, had to share from Paris:
On Sunday I told a guy at my church (yes, I went to church) that it wouldn't be a good election night unless I got to see at least one republican's face when Obama won. Petty, but true.
His reaction at the time was to point out that there are probably a lot of republicans who will have voted the same way I did.
Guess what I found out today? He just so happens to be the CHAIR of one of the Republicans Abroad orgs, and he bought me a ticket to the Voters Abroad election overnight party.
So, to summarize, I have no tact, and he's got a lot of class. Or is super passive aggressive. Feel free to laugh.
