When McCain looked to be our nominee and Hillary was still in the running, I thought of not voting. (I live in WA, so most elections for me are “why bother?”s.) When Obama became the anointed one, and I found out more about him, I knew I would vote for McCain but without excitement. With the pick of Gov. Palin, I not only am excited to vote for the ticket, but I am thinking of bumper stickers(but afraid of car being vandalized considering where I live), signs in my yard, and I am actively promoting the ticket to everyone I know who isn’t a die-hard leftist! Every conservative I know feels the same way.
Were thinking just alike. I also live in WA. I will predict right here, that Washington will be close. I know several democrats that were inspired by Palin and are voting for her. I also predict the new generation of crossover voters, PUMAs and whatever else they call themselves, will be in larger numbers than the Reagan Democrats from 1984. I was a Reagan Democrat, and I can tell you I can feel something BIG happening.
