Three cheers for Obama! He proved me wrong...
He's looking better and better. I had thought that the polls would be wrong because regardless of what people said on the phone, once they got in the polling station they'd vote with who they thought was going to win... I was wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Good going, Obama. I'm thinking about switching. I didn't think he could do it... but...

1. You're switching because other people voted for him?
Do the issues enter into it at all? :shrug:

3. I've always been mostly Hillary and partial to Obama
basically because I didn't think that when push came to shove that voters would actually vote for Obama due to questions about his experience. Now, I'm pretty sure that voters are clamoring for a change from politics as usual (okay... Obama is a very traditional business as usual politician, but the voters aren't particularly well informed so it doesn't really matter what the reality is, only the perception), so Obama it is.

Personally, I want him to win because he doesn't consider himself a member of the baby boom. Of course he is a member of the boom echo--he's not a member of Generation X by any stretch of the imagination--but at least he's not a real baby boomer. That's got to be worth something.

So yeah... I am willing to switch sides if Obama really is electable.

6. So, it's no, the issues don't enter into it at all.
Great.

Well, we'll get what we deserve.

5. If you switch, you are helping him win.
