My parent's best friends of almost 50 years live there. He's a self made near billionaire. I was at a dinner party in their $16,000.000.00 duplex apartment last week which they purchased, totally gutted and restored. Let's just say the prices they paid to the various contractors was jaw dropping (the results phenomenal). I detail for them at their summer home in the Hamptons. I charge
double what I charge everyone else and they don't bat an eye lash.
FWIW, they're voting for Obama as well as all their dinner guests (each equally wealthy). They were mortified by Sarah Palin (one of a slew of reasons). My town in Jersey is littered with Obama signs. Looks as if the Obama machine is going to gobble up McCain.
If Obama was all white with the name "John Henderson" he'd defeat McCain by a massive margin. I know of many Democrats who won't vote for him because of his bi-racial background. It was scary listening to them.
