Republicans bracing for an Obama victory
DANVILLE — With a mixture of defiance and trepidation, Republican voters in Danville appear to be coming to terms with the possibility that the GOP will lose their eight-year grip on the White House.

In this island of conservatism amid a sea of progressive Contra Costa County communities, more than a dozen Republican voters talked of awaiting an outcome they believe has been preordained by a "liberal" media that's rooting for Democratic nominee Barack Obama over Republican nominee John McCain.

-Snip-

One Republican would not speak on the record, but said she's voting for Obama — though all her customers and friends thinks she's voting for McCain. Some have dubbed that the reverse-Bradley effect, in which Republicans tell pollsters they're voting for McCain, but once in the privacy of the booth, will vote for Obama.

4. Definite Republicans voting for Obama in Danville.....
as they are fiscal conservative Republicans, not necessarily social conservatives. I live about 20 minutes away, and my daughter had a friend who's family lived there. They have a lot of money, or did prior to the Stock crash.
