7. No harm in asking. It was a good question
and hopefully a phenomenon we'll hear more of in the future.

3. Yes, our team leader for our Obama team in my part of the county
was an Obamacan - until he changed his party registration. He was a life long Republican but has become so disgusted he is now registered as an Independent. We're working on him to go all the way to Democratic, but it's been hard enough for his as it is. But he is a good team leader and we are hitting our part of the county hard.

6. Mark Hatfield/John Anderson/Lincoln Chaffee Republican here
...embracing my inner centrist.

It has been strange being "my brand" of Republican for the last 30 years, nostalgic for Ike, George Romney, Jerry Ford with all these damn cowboys and wannabee-cowboys running around.

The Looney-Toons my party put up this year make Tricky Dick look like a paragon of mental hygeine.

I voted this afternoon for the next President of the United States

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!!!!
