I don't usually contribute diaries but today was amazing. My niece and her husband visited us today with their baby. They live in Illinois, and we live in Oklahoma so we don't visit often. I was admiring the baby, when her husband asked me what I thought of Sarah Palin. I thought a moment and replied that I think she's an idiot.
That's when hell froze over because Mike said Jamie, who is a Republican to the core and has worked for Republican candidates, is going to vote for Obama. This is the girl who sends me nasty stuff about Democrats and all sorts of Republican propaganda. She is so disgusted with Sarah Palin that she's switching her vote this year. She was particularly upset with Palin's interview with Katie Couric because she thought Palin was extremely idiotic. Amazing!
My brother, who is a Dittohead, reported that his neighbor is voting for Obama also. His neighbor has been reliably Republican in the last few elections. Of course, my brother will vote for whoever Rush Limbaugh tells him to vote for, but I never thought I see the day when Jamie would vote for a Democrat. There is a God.
