Another Repuke converts.....I was blown away.
I was talking to a friend today about how racist things seem to be with people these days. I then left him to visit others. A few hrs later we got talking again and he mention that he hated John O'liely because of the way he treated Barack Obama on his show, he was pissed on how a media person would treat a possible president. I let him rant on and he said thats what did it he was boycotting and asking all his friends to boycott FOX NEWS and to not buy the NY POST.I was stunned...he confessed to voting 2X for * but no more his eyes are now wide open, he is a Nam Vet also. He is a guy who is a personal friend of our former NY Gov. Pataki. I was amazed and blown away. I said, I was taken with Obama when I first heard him speak... and he said yes he was too. I said i've not heard a person speak like that since 1968, he said Nixon fucked the troops and pulled out only to get re-elected. He was adamant that this country needs change and needs it bad..and Obama & Biden will make sure they change the entire tone of things. Again I was stunned...He was sick of the swift-boating attacks on our guy who is telling us not what we want to hear but what we must know. Dumbfounded I let him continue and in no uncertain terms he was working to turn the vote for real change, change we can believe in Obama. Well if he was an easy convert, how many more are out there?

1. I love stories like this.
I just can't imagine Democrats turning toward the Republicans in this way this time around.

4. Brilliant news, Historic NY!
Imagine billo'rielly thought he was being all extra special treating Obama the way he did..which I did not see, btw.

But, heard Obama did well except from one poster who thought Obama was being "p****".
