I met a real, live NO voter today, it seems the polls are correct, they really do exist! He was an intelligent, ordinary, older gentleman with a wife who relies heavily on the NHS for her health but he was unconvinced of the Yes argument and as a rare internet user hes getting most of his information from that most trusted of impartial resources, the BBC. He had literally dozens of questions. I did my best to answer and give reassurance on them but plan to call in to see them later this week with a copy of the Wee Blue Book and a print out of the Scottish governments 650 questions and answers. People like this must be out there in their tens of thousands, a million miles from the Yes Positive Facebook and social media bubble, not making a noise but still deciding NO. So please do your best to speak to people and campaign in the real world, even if its just one or two folk. Meantime, hell be watching the debate tonight with a slightly more open mind, heres hoping Alex will be on form for round 2 and convince him, and others like him, to change their minds and votes. - Mike D news.stv.tv/scotland-decides/289530-salmond-and-darling-to-clash-in-second-televised-referendum-debate/
