I actually prefer Edwards over her too.Lisa Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096947438461486505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-1169667685433344492007-01-24T11:41:00.000-08:002007-01-24T11:41:00.000-08:00Well alright then.

And here's the funny thing: I've been polling all the swing voters I know. Many of them <I>hate</I> Clinton and would never vote for her, but so far all the swings like Obama. An old friend even told me that her dad (who I wouldn't have even put in the swing category because he's so conservative)likes Obama! This is a man who when I worked in his fancy restuarant during college used to give me all the black and Jewish customers, saying, "Here Eileen, you like these people." Now maybe he's part of the "Doug Wilder factor" (referring to whites who tell pollsters they'll vote for a black candidate, but then really don't), but the fact that my friend's dad would even consider voting for Obama tells me that he really does have a shot.Imperfect Serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745094245592947482noreply@blogger.com
