Voting For Obama: The Long and Winding Road
March 5, 2008, seems so long ago. That was the day I pulled the lever for John McCain. The best of a mediocre lot, I had tremendous respect for his stance on national “hurricane” insurance, ethanol subsidies, the Iraq surge, nuclear power, and immigration. I was hopeful that this would be an election where I could vote for a President rather than against a candidate. How times changed.
Since then, I have morphed from a (presumed) solid McCain voter to someone who just voted for Obama. In a separate post, I’ll explore their policy positions, voicing some thoughts and perspectives I have failed to find elsewhere. This post, however, is just a summary of my sad personal road. I share to relieve my angst and because I think there are millions of conservatives struggling right along with me.
