He's almost 80, a lifelong republican, and a veteran. He was leaning toward McCain until Palin joined the ticket. He's not too clear on a lot of the issues (he liked McCain mainly because of war hero thing, and a vague sense that he was a 'maverick') but he gets Palin. Gets her loud and clear. And does not like her one single bit. Asked me "can you believe she thinks she's got foreign policy experience because Alaska is close to Russia? that's the stupidest thing I ever heard."
He's voting for Obama. And I can also tell you, if you had told me 40 years ago my dad would be voting for a non-white guy for President, you would have had to prop my jaw up with a forklift. Thanks, Sarah!
