Michael Smerconish: "I've Decided"
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/10/17/195946/80/637/633989

"I’ve decided," he said. "My conclusion comes after reading the candidates’ memoirs and campaign platforms, attending both party conventions, interviewing both men multiple times, and watching all primary and general election debates.

"John McCain is an honorable man who has served his country well. But he will not get my vote. For the first time since registering as a Republican 28 years ago, I’m voting for a Democrat for president.

1. Just from his MSNBC appearances, I thought he would do this
He gets a few points for intelligence, anyway.

2. Holy shit, ya know I realized that he had toned downed the rhetoric months ago
is he going to become a convert like Ed Schultz? I think this is a great development.

3. This is great, I think.
He was horrible when he started showing up on Tweedy's show. Tweedy pushed him pretty strong and it was obvious they both thought the same way. Things can change and I really like this one. Oh BTW, that Michelle Bachmann is full of shut.
