Apparently, 21% of all voting Americans fall into the category of swing voters, people who could go either way when it comes time to pull the lever this November. Theres been a lot of talk over the course of the past year or so as to who these people are and how they can best be addressed en masse. Prevailing wisdom is that Nascar dads are one such subset. As surprising as it might sound, another sizeable subset of this group, according to a recent article in the New York Times, might be Christian fans of Howard Stern, the on-air personality who just recently withdrew his support for the President in a big way. If this is correct, Stern might be more of a force come November than was recently thought. Heres a quote from the article on the Stern-loving Christian voting bloc:
Mr. Stern, who has backed Republican candidates in the past, has a mother lode of swing voters in his audience, according to a poll by the New Democrat Network, an advocacy group. Its pollster, Mark Penn, calculates that this “Stern Gang” of swing voters makes up 4 percent of the likely voters this year, nearly as large as the entire Hispanic vote in 2000.

I am new to the Ann Arbor area and looking for a Christian swingers group to get acquainted with. Any recommendations?
There’s a place in Saline. I’m not sure, but it may be St Andrew the something or other. I think they’ve got a swingers night. It’s unlisted. Or, at least it’s not billed as a swingers event. It’s called something like “adult bible study.” I have a buddy that goes with his wife.
