Carla. I can't remember a year when my family and all my friends voted the same
way. As in 2004, I have been thrilled, amused and proud to note that there is
nowhere in the county I drive around where anyone could step out their front
door without recognizing, oh, some of my closest neighbors are voting the
opposite way from me. There might be two or three yards in a row with McCain
signs, then two or three with Obama signs, or one of each on the same block. The
elderly Polish couple who wanted an Obama sign are right across the street from
a McCain sign. Its true in prosperous suburbs, its true in older working class
neighborhoods, its true in neighborhoods in between. Some have a greater
concentration one way or the other, but none are 100%. I appreciate that. It is
one feature that keeps our nation stable. Winners have to recognize that 40-49%
of their fellow citizens did NOT support them. There is a great deal I deplore
about the severe damage George W. Bush has done to my country, but I can't
resent the people who voted for him: a whole bunch of them are good friends of
mine. I was talking to my neice on the phone a month ago, and she said with awe
"Even GRANDMA is voting Democratic this year." She was talking about my mother.
Mom is voting for Obama because she observes "There is not one conservative left
in Washington." She means fiscal conservative more than any other, the kind that
balance the budget and pay bills as we go rather than borrowing endlessly. That
used to be a Republican position, but in the past thirty years, only Democratic
administrations (and darn few of them) have accomplished it. She also means the
kind of conservative who practice limited government, not the kind who want
government intruding into their neighbors' personal lives in all kinds of ways.
My mother has little patience with social workers, and neither do I. But some of
HER friends are voting for McCain too. I won't begin to tell you what mom thinks
of Palin -- definitely not my mother's kind of Republican.</font></div>
