Don’t Vote for Kyle, originally uploaded by edkohler.

A guy standing outside the Xcel Energy Center before Obama’s speech was proudly holding a “Don’t Vote for Him” sign. That is, until Kyle stood next to the sign while I snapped a photo.

Suddenly, he no longer proudly bashed Obama. He folded up the sign and quickly made a move away from my camera.

A cut & run Republican.

Update: Eyeteeth has a map of the waiting line for the event. I was at 6th & Cedar, so a few blocks from the end, but made it in for Obama’s speech.
