This is a recording of a wingnut on another weblog who is in the process of turning to Obama
The weblog is for traders and I shall not name it (or link to it) to avoid crashing the site by kossacks. However, all the posts quoted below are true, with no modifications by me.
Barely two months ago, this wingnut (let's call him John) stood firmly on the right, and refused to accept any information from our side. For example,

As you should know the huffington post isn't held to any standard of truth from a legal standpoint, hence, they can be sued but can't be held liable.
There it is, now you are educated.

Take a few minutes and do some research on what was said about Tony Snow and Bob Novak from your esteemed "progressives" at dailykos and the huffington post.
The left has the market on has the market on hate cornered.
So he had closed his mind and refused to listen to anything from our side. McCain's Palin pick brought a big cheer from John:

McCain wins, all those "disenfranchised" Hillary voters now vote for McCain.
Obama, over and out.
John parroted every line from the GOP convention,

Obama has ties to every corrupt politician in Illinois and the terrorist William Ayers and rev. wright and Tony Rezko.
The Democrats should steer clear of any guilt by association tactics, they will lose badly.
But he started feeling defensive about Palin,

The American people respect Sarah Palin, and they trust her. Their doubts and second thoughts about Obama grow daily.
He shows some wavering here during an abortion debate

There are plenty of children born, as you disturbingly term it, "not viable" but receive health care.
As I said I am by no means a crusader but if an abortion is botched, and the child can live with medical assistance rather than being left for dead then they should receive medical assistance.
For Obama to vote against the assistance removes any doubt it my mind about voting for him. I probably wouldn't have anyways because he refuses to answer a question directly but I'm by no means have I been sold on Mccain.
It really just makes me think Obama is one sick fuck and I'm sure I'm not going to be the only one. It will tip people on the fence.
That's not even a question of a right to choose, that's just plain evil.
Notice how he is trying to convince himself not to vote for Obama, but sounds quite unconvinced. And he knows where his discomfort comes from,

Try the last 8 years.
In recent weeks, it is has been Republicans who have been most guilty of "big government". It would be difficult for a Democrat to throw money around as carelessly as Republican-appointed officials have in recent days. They would be lambasted on talk radio and television talk shows. And, might I add as an independent, rightly so.
Notice how he already calls himself an independent. :-) Then comes the shocker today,

Well,
After a lot of thought I may just end up voting for Barry. I have voted for Democrats before but primarily Republicans for fiscal issues alone.
My reasons are as follows:
Bush is the worst president in history and has been enabled by the republican congress.
The rest of the world hates us and will be more apt to re establish ties if Barry is elected. We have better relationships to fight the islamic terror networks and get more cooperation.
Sarah Palin is woefully unqualified.
The only way the republican party can redeem itself is by being voted out.
That being said, I figure Barry isn't qualified either for President and will probably screw the country up very badly. However, that will get a leaner meaner republican party back in.
I'm depressed.
And he adds to the reasoning here,

I do like that Barry has injected some optimism into american politics.
He's woefully unqualified as well and will probably do a poor job as well.
That's John, your typical Republican.
