(Community Matters) Two of my most interesting conversations with voters in Western Michigan today.
First: A young man said, no he was not voting for Barack Obama. I asked if he minded telling me why. He said because he learned Barack had taken his senate oath on a Koran. When I informed him that this was a lie and that Barack & Michelle were raised as Christian, he got mad. Not mad at me but that he’d believed what he read. He acknowledged that there was a lot of lies coming out of the McCain campaign
Second: Went to see a family of three voters, by no means identified, they’ve only once voted in a Democratic primary. Turns out another daughter had recently turned 18 and was registered to vote. The mother and daughters are enthusiastic Obama supporters, even took a sticker and immediately placed it on their car. The dad was gruff and told me he was voting for Nader. The mom came around and whispered to me, “don’t worry, we won’t let him vote for Nader. He’ll vote for Obama too.” He just shrugged and smiled.
