Sweet!
I think the labels can be a bit misleading. There was a time in my life when I could vote for a Republican if s/he were the better candidate, but since the gang of crooks, liars, and religious bigots took over the Republican party I have had to give that up. I suspect some of my positions (particularly on fiscal prudence and paying for what you get) would be called conservative by some folks, and yet I have become very enthusiastic about Obama. The signs I have seen so far suggest to me that he is more of technocrat/wonk than an ideologue, and that may surprise some people once he is elected. Regards, -- Kevin B.
