Because I am a big believer in personal responsibility (i.e. looking up the facts first) and if someone can sit down and intelligently tell me why they are voting for McCain, then I say do it. The thing I hate is when people vote for someone but can't give one coherent reason why they did it. <br/><br/>I am sincerely happy that Obama won, though.

I am sincerely happy that Obama won, though.

Anyway, good post. I definitely agree with the sentiment.

Palin is a moron- and your right. I could give ANYONE a million reasons to sway them for voting for McCain- and luckily for me, I won't have to, because the American public was smart enough and sensible enough to vote for a change. I'm glad your still watching your politics, despite your distance!!! It was such a fantastic day in the United States, especially as an Obama supporter! Palin is a moron- and your right.
