Count me in the group of infrequent voters that decided I had to vote to oppose Obama. I live in Texas, about as red as it gets, so I have never really felt I needed to vote to get the elected officials I want (All top level positions in government here in Texas are Republican). The last time I voted was in 1992. This year I hope I represent a trend of conservaties returning to vote in HUGE numbers to stop the destruction that Obama would bring.
By the way, McCain choosing Palin certainly helped his cause with me.
I drove two family members to the polls here in Ohio who I knew weren’t voting at all, both voted straight (R) down the ticket.
I also converted one Obama supporter over after I told him about Obama’s anti-gun stance.
I also turned 2 20 yr olds over to McCain. I didn’t push anything, I just answered their questions and the told me thats who they were voting for.
Great feeling!
I moved to Texas from California three years ago, partly because that state has nearly become a third world socialist hell.
Living in a place where liberals haven't (yet) destroyed the very fabric of the American way of life is a comfort I can't easily describe.
That being said, my antenna are are permanently raised because of having lived in Cali for most of my life. I'm one of those who is actually sweating bullets, feeling like liberals are breathing down my neck.
I always feel this way around election days.
