I watched the debate with my grandmother, 85 years old, NEVER voted for any Republican in her life. She was so revolted by Kerry, and THAT in particular, that not only is there NO WAY she'll vote for Kerry, and not only for the first time in her 64 year voting record is she voting for a Republican, but my guess is she has now completely switched allegiance and is now a Republican for her (hopefully infinitely long, God bless her) life.
Good to see Grandma commin' around. Betta late than never.
