Since Arizona was in the bag for McCain in 2008, I went to Nevada for the week before the election and drove a McCain van for neighborhood walks. One of the people I drove around was a very sweet and elegant middle-aged black lady who opposed Obama mostly on the basis of abortion. She got so much guff not just from other blacks, but from patronizing white liberals, that I wanted to take her back to HQ to do phone calls and spare her any further indignities. It is not an easy thing to face that kind of peer pressure.
