Some talk radio hosts have been doing interviews with "the man on the street", asking people about various current issues and personalities. A suprising number can't even name Barack Obama's running mate... and, inevitably, those people identify themselves as Obama voters.

Looks like that hasn't changed, even after the victor in the election was announced.

Sold-out movie thwarts Bidens
OK, if it wasn't them, then who were those Secret Service guys?

By ANGIE BASIOUNY • The News Journal • January 5, 2009

He's a heartbeat away from the presidency, but that apparently didn't help Joe Biden get a movie ticket Saturday night.

Employees at the Regal Brandywine Cinemas say the vice president-elect and his wife, Jill, tried to attend the 7:45 showing of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" at the theater on Concord Pike but left after they were told the movie was sold out.

There's been no confirmation from the Biden camp, but the theater employees say they are sure it was him.

Inshirah Muhamut, an associate manager, said she closed her box-office line when she saw what appeared to be a Secret Service agent coming her way.

The man asked her about tickets for the movie, which stars Brad Pitt, then left.

A few minutes later, she said, the Bidens came into the lobby.

Jill Biden walked up to speak with Muhamut while Joe stood nearby.

"She was asking me about other shows, but they really wanted to see 'Benjamin Button,' " Muhamut said. "He was maybe five feet away, looking at her. He was standing with his other Secret Service men."

Remarkably, none of the other moviegoers appeared to notice. Employees said nobody mobbed Biden or called his name or asked for an autograph.

"It didn't seem many people recognized him," said employee Becky Gingrich, 21. "Honestly, I think people were just too wrapped up in themselves to notice."

Yep, people were wrapped up in themselves and wasn't paying attention. I'd have recognized him in a heartbeat as he's been floating around in politics for decades. I wonder if it hurt his ego to not be noticed?!? Hmmm....as egos go, I'd say it did. :gives:
