Republican I know voted straight R ticket except for Obama!
This is someone who is clearly still a Republican and voted all R here in Texas.

BUT.....

pushed the button for Obama.

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around that one!

1. Good for him!
:patriot: I only hope the machine counted his vote for Obama. Did he get a paper trail, do you know?

2. that's great!
I have a R friend who called me to register him to vote, so he could vote for Obama. As much as this shocked me, imagine my further surprise when he announced he was driving people to the polls for the Obama campaign.

Good god. What next? :toast: :toast: :toast:

shock and awe, baby.

3. It's Phailin, and the fact Gramps is 72 and not always sure where he
is.

He's a Republican, but knows there have to be some brains functioning at the top.
