It's often considered "bad form" to get into political discussions with your clients. Politics can be a real "hot button" topic, and if you disagree politically, you may alienate - and even lose - your customer.
I make no secret of the fact that I support Obama, Biden, and other Democratic candidates and liberal issues. If a prospective client learns that about me, and decides not to hire me because of it, that's fine. It's not that I wouldn't appreciate their business; after all, I can respect their position and we can amicably agree to disagree.
If you choose to get into a political conversation with a customer, state your positions calmly, and listen to opposing views politely and attentively. You can have a pleasant, civil difference of opinion without argument or hostility. And in the process, you might develop a healthy - and even friendly - respect for each other!
