[Question Liberal Authority]

I don't understand how you get from "not voting for McCain" to "voting for Obama". It's like saying "I don't want to step in that dog poop, so I'm going to smear my entire body with crocodile dung".

Whatever happened to the good old days when ticked off "Republicans" simply stayed home on election day?

You are so right. I find it hard to believe these types. Your analogy is perfect.

Smerconish's (or Smerc as David Gregory affectionately nicknamed him)primary concern is what would advance his career. He must somehow believe supporting Obama will advance his career.

Philly as you well may know is extremely liberal and democratic with a high percentage of African Americans. Supporting Obama may well broaden the audience for his program as well as for the local Philly station. He has been guest hosting on MSNBC. I'm sure this move also ingratiates him to his MSNBC buddies and help him go from local to national prominence.
