Singing in Glen Campbells voice:"And I'm Proud to Be an American..."

To cap off the election, some gems from Overheard in Minneapolis

70-year-old guy in voting line: I’ll be so damn happy to be able to watch television without all those ads.

30-something: (nods)

70-year-old guy: Isn’t it driving you crazy?

30-something: Actually we just do Netflix and don’t watch any TV at all.

70-year-old: WHAT! How do you know who to vote for then?

30-something: Um, public radio & reading?

70-year-old: Hmph, I don’t know about that.

—Minneapolis, polling place

Female voter to friend: I don’t remember the exact number, but either 200 million or billion people are going to vote today.

—U of MN

Really overly excited ditzy blonde college girl to friend voting for Obama: You can’t, like, vote for Obama! He is, like, a Muslim and doesn’t, like, support our troops.

—St Paul, Bethel University

Little girl, maybe six yrs old: I voted two times today already.

Old lady working the polling place (in a strict tone): You can only vote once or you go to jail.

—St. Paul, Polls

Coworker #1: I hate how our generation feels that nothing is ever our fault. People really need to start taking responsibilities for their decisions!

Coworker #2: *completely serious* Dude, I totally agree. It’s terrible. But you know, our parents are the ones who taught us to feel entitled. It’s really their fault.
