My Repub neighbor says she's voting Dem for the first time ever...

[npincus]

for Obama! She said she can't believe she's voting Dem, is very excited about Obama-- she says that after B*sh, she'll never vote for another Republican again.

She's a great gal BTW, and I'm glad she's seen the light.

[goodhue]

1. good for her!

and good for Obama

[LisaM]

2. Would she vote for the other Democrats?

And (LOL) did she apologize for her previous votes?

[npincus]

8. She has apologized to me for voting for B*sh...

she said she was afraid to tell me (until recently a weather-beaten Kerry-Edwards sticker hung on my storm door), and has apologized on more than one occasion.

She doesn't like Hillary... that's a good question, i'll ask her if there is any other Dem she'd vote for. :)

[Cant trust em]

11. I've pulled over a couple of Republicans too

and they're now voting for Obama. Good work, npincus!

[npincus]

14. oh, I certainly can't take the credit here...

she saw the light on her own. But congrats on your successes! :)

[Cant trust em]

18. our successes are the result of GOP failures

I'll take what I can get.

[Eurobabe]

3. Hopefully many have seen the light!!

Good on your neighbor. :hi:

[Barack_America]

4. That's encouraging.

Unfortunately it took Republicans 8 years to figure out Bush is an idiot. :(

[mrreowwr_kittty]

5. Unfortunately slimy tricks and racebaiting will probably thwart that goal.

She'll be choosing between Clinton and McCain. I think we both know how that will probably go. :(

6. . . badly for those of us not backing the Reich n/t

[sueh]

7. Great news!

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. How did I know it would be Obama, before I even click on the thread?

:shrug: Republicans for Obama! :woohoo: Reagan Democrats and Obama republicans. :eyes:

[MagsDem]

19. But these same people will swear Obama is liberal

Yeah, he's liberal like Joe Lieberman.

[stillcool]

10. I just had a close friend...

jump the shark as well. Freaked me out. Just when I had him firmly pigeon-holed, he flew the coop.

[calimary]

12. Souls CAN be saved!

My best friend, who fell down, deeply, into the Dark Side (hung around with too many windshield cowboys and rednecks in the last couple of decades, I'm afraid, and their cowshit rubbed off on her) is now an Obama fan. I happily welcomed her back into the Side of the Light. Man, that one was painful for a LONG time, though!

[Kokonoe]

13. On C-Span the first 2 republicans wanted obama

The first caller was an informed dem. The next 2 solid pukes had never voted for a dem in their lives swore they had enough, and were voting Obama.

[jefferson_dem]

15. Excellent!

Tell your neighbor that all are welcome on the ObamaWagon!

[readmoreoften]

16. Awesome! And we'll keep her vote by being the Unity Party that stands for nothing!

Unity08! :sarcasm:

Oh wait... I'm a Democrat.

[MagsDem]

17. Only someone stupid enough to vote for Bush

Would fall for the media creation that is Obama. Did you clue her in that she needs to vote for him in a primary, and that he is not very likely to win the nomination? And if she is a registered rethung, how is she going to do that? Sounds like another clueless voter, which explains the Obama thing. I'll bet if you asked her, she couldn't tell you a single thing about him, his policy issue position, or his experience.

Obama, the great media creation.
