I can't believe I am actually saying this

Welcome to the dark side Trisha. I started out as a normal conservative Republican, became undecided and finally made the decision to support Obama. He is the better candidate and I like his ideas. He has reasonable, viable plans for this country, now and in the future.

You're in good company. Obama didn't attain the lead he currently has just because--Democrat party ID is not THAT much greater. He has this lead because he won people over with his policies and ideas. A LOT of people. Welcome to that group.

yeah, me and my g/f were just talking about that last night. We couldn't believe it, either. It actually started when she mentioned it.I told her I was thinking the same thing. We both still don't know if we're going to vote for him but it looks like whether we do or not, he is going to be our next president.

Well, before you completely make up your mind, tune in to c-span on sunday at 8. You haven't seen all of the debates yet, there are at least 3 candidates that will be at this one and both Obama and McCain are invited, though I doubt they will show up.

Wait, what were you going for previously? Were you going to vote for McCain, or were you one of the undecided? Well, I am glad that you are a well informed voter and you have decided to do your research to form your opinion on facts and the debates, not just on stupid rumors or anything, which I hear way too much of.

Welcome aboard ... a Republican and good friend of mine from Coloroda came to the same conclusion. Her father's name was Frank Dunkle (for anyone wanting to fact check) and was appointed by President Regan to be head of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Serivce. They are long time republicans. There is a rumor out there that Colin Powell will endorse Obama. When that happens, you will know you are in good company.

I can't see him winning me over...there's too many things about him that I don't like...his plans to disarm our country most of all. I hope that those that vote for him don't come to regret it later...good luck with your voting. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

Good to hear! I sadly can't vote in this election becaues my birthday is after the election which sucks. But Good for you I am a major Obama supporter. I think obama is new enough in this that he maybe able to see past all the BS that happens in Washington and well he can't do worst than the current president has I am waiting to see if the dems will get 60 seats in congress to see if there will make it so there can't be any fillabustering going on. It would be the first time in my lifetime that that has happened :)

Welcome to the group and I am so glad that you see what person's has been saying all along. I hope that this lead really turns up on election day because people tends to say one thing and on election day do another. So please to go out and vote because remember it is the vote that counts.

I like Obama's education plan over McCain's. That was a big selling point to me. I'm really excited about the possible change in our education system. Good to hear you were able to make up your mind about who you are voting for.

Ohhhhh, that was good thing to know that you already knew the person you would like to vote in the future Presidential votation in your place...

I had to laugh at all the commentators and people going on and on about Obama 'moving to the middle' to woo more voters. The truth is that his message is still the same - it's rational, it's reasonable, it's well-thought-out and it's - for all the spluttering from the right - not all that liberal and radical. What people are seeing is that Obama is not the caricature he's been portayed as - and since they all thought he was a radical nutcase who thinks he's the Messiah, of COURSE they think he's moving to the center. I'm glad to hear you did your research, listened to what he was actually saying instead of the cherry-picked gotchas that usually cut off the end of the sentence (how many times did he say "You're right about that point, John, but.." in the first debate? How many people who didn't actually watch the debate heard the but, do you think?). If you liked what you heard, take a look at that record he supposedly doesn't have. I think you might find that there's a lot there to like.
