Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) isn’t that recognizable outside of his home state, going by his stop for a haircut in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
According to Philadelphia Magazine, Pence went to Jones Barber & Hairstyles for a haircut, a visit that was captured on video by CNN. After discussing football, among other subjects, Pence steps out of the chair calling the haircut “perfect.”
“It’s been a pleasure, young man,” the barber replies. “Now, your name?”
“Mike Pence,” the vice-presidential candidate explains. The barber repeats Pence’s name without suggesting he recognizes it.
“Governor of the state of Indiana. I’m running for vice-president of the United States,” Pence explains, prompting surprise from the barber.
There’s video at the link. Via Raw Story. Seriously, these old white men need to stop trying to court the vote of People of Colour, it’s not only awkward, it’s downright embarrassing.

Tim Kaine wouldn’t get recognized either, therefore Hillary will be just as bad a president as Trump and we should vote third party.
After Pence says he’s running with Donald Trump, the barber should have said, “the white supremacist?” I would have loved to see Pence’s reaction on camera.

Channeling Jake Harban? The Vicar? Both?

Very vaguely related, ‘Mr Brexit’ meets Mr Brexit: Nigel Farage to stump with Trump:
By doing what teh trum-prat is doing, lying & stirring up loons and racist nutters. He then quit, partly when it finally dawned on the fools who voted to commit seppuku he didn’t actually have any plan. That is, he did a Sarah Palin and ran away once it was time to do some actual work (which is one hypothesis for what teh trum-prat will do).
The article goes on to point out various parallels and connections between teh trum-prat’s campaign and the “brexit” shite, including (as one example) “Farage has expressed ‘massive thanks’ to Bannon and Breitbart for their favorable coverage of the Leave campaign.”
