This just in from our newsroom: Hell has frozen over
My very republican older brother just called me from Minneapolis and informed me that he is so pissed off at the incompetence of the McCain campaign that he is voting for Obama.

Pardon me while I crack open a bottle of wine to celebrate.

6. Same here
Just heard about friends who used to send us some severely wrong RW drivel after 911 are voting for Obama. Decided it during the last debate. They have NEVER voted for a DEM their entire lives.

I share your shock. And this for me has been ongoing over the past month or so. People I have known to be Republican their entire lives are not going to vote for McCain/Palin.

10. I think my R brother is voting for O too.
He just can't bring himself to tell us (the rest of the family are Dems). LOL.
