Comment from a Republican in the The State.

[Barack_America]

Came across this and thought it was interesting:

I did attend an Obama rally in Dillon last week at the high school gym. As a life-long Republican, I had intended to listen only. But, five minutes of listening to this inspiring, very articulate individual had me up clapping and nodding in agreement. This guy has more than a campaign; he is at the helm of a movement in this country. And, while his fellow Democratic candidates are busy attacking each other (and him), Obama is focused on repairing America.

Obama said it best at the rally. Responding to those who say he's too young and inexperienced to run the country, he said that some say he's not "seasoned" enough and that they want to keep him in Washington long enough to "boil all the hope out of me." How profound!

I've read several similar comments in The State.

Hope you find it interesting

1. We can change this country people! We just need to believe.

And then we MOBILIZE. And then we ACT. And we will all WIN!

2. That's how I feel!

I won't buy into the fear of race in this election. We're ready.

Gobama!

As soon as the Rove attack machine gets through with Obama this Republican will fall back into line

All of Obama talk about "unity" and "hope" is quaint, but all that talk will be drowned out once Rove's stormtroopers get through with him.

4. Or maybe he has changed because he has hope instead of fear.

3. Will Republicans still support a President Obama...

when he implements a progressive agenda? That will be interesting to see.
