Conservative, R voter until 2004. Ex military, civil service. But now it's like the fog has lifted. She watches MSNBC --loves the Ed Show and watches the others--Rachel, Tweety, O'Donnell (Even Hayes on Sunday). She gets it! I never expected such enlightenment.
If Obama wins, I think the refreshing straight-talking honesty and folksy demeanor of Ed Schultz (Bill Clinton appeal) will deserve some of the credit. His show is helping to provide an antidote to Fox for my MIL's demographic. Thank God. Now she's all about Obama, almost obsessed, doing the vigil for him and "Mrs. Obama," who she also admires a lot. She tells her friends to vote for him, and will even tangle with some of her Repub relatives, tho she's a sweetheart and not abrasive. She just says stuff like..."you know that Obama's for the middle class." (like, duh)
The R party has left my MIL too.
