BREAKING NEWS: my dad, who has been a staunch republican since the
beginning of time, told me this weekend that he voted (early) for john
kerry.

people, this is big. this is huge. this is a really good omen.

my dad is exactly the type of voter that may swing the election to
kerry. he’s got all the republican values, but feels deeply that george
w. screwed up in iraq… my dad served in the army, and the worsening
situation in iraq has really struck a nerve. in spite of the fact that
my dad doesn’t fully trust kerry (he told me, “kerry flip flops on the
issues,” and i replied, “dad, do you realize that you’re blindly
repeating republican propaganda?”, then thought, “wow, bush’s speeches
really work… scary.”), he said he can’t support someone who has
blundered so badly with our military, not to mention our global
position.

me: “dad, i’m so proud of you! now our votes won’t cancel each other out!”

dad: “well,� yr mom cancelled out my vote already.”

me: “MOM?! WHAT?!!”

but we didn’t get into it. my guess is that my mom made her decision based on pro-life… although i’m not sure about that.

at any rate, i feel optimistic about election day… go dad.
