I'm so thankful that this nasty incident did not take place in Westbrook; I'd be so embarrassed if it had. Reuters is reporting that the sign also stated "let's hope someone wins." Instead of being an ignorant racist, that small store owner should be down on his knees praying that our President-Elect Obama can lead us out of this mess.report abuse

Not surprising that Collins didn't have the guts to admit that the sign was in his store.

As for prosecution, if everyone could be prosecuted for terminal ignorance, we'd go broke paying for judges and courtrooms.report abuse
