I have political interactions with Dubliners more than twice a day (when I’m out and about). Here’s two from today.
First, in the hardware store: The two workers there know me and they know that I’m American. One asks, “How about yer man McCain. Do ya think he’ll win?” Discussion ensues, bringing in another customer (Irish). All seem to hope that Obama wins the primaries and the election.
Second, not really an interaction, but a poster I saw all over town:

Sorry, Keely, I couldn’t make the meeting. I’d wager the answer is “No, their talk of change is superficial,” if you’re looking for the cliff-notes version. I’ve almost attended a few socialist gatherings around the city — they’re as common as hen parties — but something always foils my plans.
