I've got one in my family too. Never thought I would ever see her voting Republican, but she is and is proud of it.
I hope you are right. I saw a “sign” while on the road yesterday - lots of yards with many signs for Democrats running for local and state spots, but they didn’t display the Obama sign. Wonder why not???
Saw a couple with Democratic local candidate signs, then McCain sign in amongst them. Obviously a Dem household, but they had McCain’s sign right in the middle of the cluster.
I hope they were watching out their windows as I gave them a thumbs-up as I drove by.
