I think that you and most of the other posters are missing something here.

I have two nephews who are just like this guy. They are both young (32/26), both well educated, both successful in corporate careers. They were raised as Evangelicals (the rest of us are Catholic). Suddenly, both are for Obama.

These guys have been voting Republican for as long as they've been of age. They never showed any indication of even the slightest drift toward the left. There is something in Obama that appeals to the under 35 crowd. And, they see McCain as the grumpy old man who yells at them instead of talks with them.

We can insult their intelligence or their honesty or their motives but that will do us no good. There is a reason why these young Republicans are turning. If we don't find a way to address it then we risk losing much of their generation.

I’m 25 and still a Republican, for now anyway. Obama isn’t as bad as Hillary but he has no appeal to me.

This move to Obama, is a move to be in on the “firsts.” The first real black prez (not Klinton’s BS); the first Muzzie elected prez; being in on change in America; going with the new pop culture of electing Obama. Obama is a rock star. He has no record to back him up. He has done nothing. A state representative a few years, a senator for 4. What experience does this guy have to run this country? What are his credentials? None. Everyone is jumping on the rock star band wagon. Wanting to be part of the “movement.” The NEW face of politics.
