Are you afraid to talk politics with clients?

[roblewis]

Politics has been an area I have never found much interest in until now. With that said, I don't talk politics much outside of my own family and friends circle. I feel that when you mention your beliefs and views in politics, you are really opening a door that you can never close. Even in my own family, their is a deep divide between the Obama supporters and the McCain supporters, so much so that I will not disclose my own personal preferences to them. What do you think about the subject? Should politics be left out of the discussion, even with a VERY friendly prospect?
