Reply #5: I've got a guy who's been helping me fix a door who's a little younger than me, in his early 50's. [View All]

Not highly educated, but very skilled and an incredible temperament and demeanor.

He told me Tuesday this was the first time he'd voted for President, and going into the election was split, leaning toward McCain.

His 23 year old son called him, and asked if he'd voted early. No, he replied, I'm still undecided.

What about you, he asked his son. Obama, he replied.

So my friend said, I also voted for Obama.......if I'd voted for McCain, he reasoned, I'd canceled out my son's vote. If he and his generation, who'll have to fix this mess we're leaving them, think Obama's right, then that's good enough for me.

Brilliant.
