Even Conservative Wick Allison endorses Obama.

Excerpt: Barack Obama is not my ideal candidate for president. (In fact, I made the maximum donation to John McCain during the primaries, when there was still hope he might come to his senses.) But I now see that Obama is almost the ideal candidate for this moment in American history. I disagree with

*Is really worried*

Palin scares me.

Palin scares me because America is so screwed up at the moment that they might just vote for her/McCain.

[illuminated_sin]

You should be. People are flocking to this ridiculous woman because she's a religious conservative -- and some are voting for McCain simply because they cannot accept the idea of voting for a black man. It's shameful.

[dragonmad]

I always knew the latter would happen.

Palin has more than a few things going for her; shes a woman - which counts for a LOT, regardless she's no Hilary!, she's VERY religious - and we all know the bible belt will vote in force for someone like her, and she's "familiar" or "common". Frankly it makes me sick. >_

Great article. This gives me hope that some of the more thoughtful Republicans might agree with Allison. Thanks for the link.

thank you, this will help me.

Now I'm curious as to what exactly you mean by that statement. o_O Were you struggling to justify voting for Obama? Or are you trying to convince someone else? Inquiring minds want to know!

hubby is right of center (still, in this election) and i'd like him to see (my) reason this year.

OOh, good luck! :D

After the financial stuff about the bailout came out recently, polls show Obama has leaped ahead from 40% to 60%.

Now, if only other conservatives could see Obama this way we'd be all set.

Hopefully they will, at least some of them. Enough to win is all we need.
