in the interest of full disclosure
If you read my post from earlier today, you might be saying, "Cory, you say you're an Obama supporter, but you're defending Hillary. What's up with that?"
The following link explains why (outside the issues, which I think Hillary and Barack are reasonably similar on) I support Obama. Click it, read the whole thing, worth your while.
My fellow commuters, who I see every morning and afternoon, were engaged in conversation with each other. Usually, this crowd of mixed age, race, gender and preference casually ignores each other. They stand or sit quietly. They bury their faces in books or newspapers. They close their eyes. Rarely do they interact. Today, they were discussing politics with their fellow strangers.
Additionally, if you've recently become more interested in news and politics (which I think everyone must be), you should read Joshua Micah Marshall's web site, Talking Points Memo for coverage. I know I've referenced it several times before in this blog, and maybe you haven't ever clicked it before, but trust me, it's good. Shout out to Erik for the initial introduction to it.
