I am friends with quite a few conservatives and more than a handful of republicans.
It is becoming more and more difficult to talk with them about the election.
I don't know if that means I am becoming more liberal or just that the stakes are getting too high and too personal for me.
I waited in nearly 3 hours of security to get into Bronco's stadium to hear Obama speak. It was worth every minute. I believe in Obama. I believe in his message and I believe in what he and an Obama administration will do for America. I am not a hater and I don't think all republicans are evil I just think America is indeed better than this.
Furthermore, I have just had enough with the policies of fear, and secrecy and pandering and baiting - of all sorts. As I told a friend today, I handle defense issues, I know there are bad guys out there who want to get us. But the only attack that didn't work on 9/11 was Flight 93 because the people on board were informed. They took control and saved the day.
We all need to be in this together, and I'm just not convinced that John McCain has gone all in on this one. It's just not who he is, it doesn't mean he's a bad person, it just means that he isn't getting my vote.
