you are so very far from the only one.
it's personal for me too, but it goes like this: i have children, and grandchildren, who will one day have children who will have children. i'm a humanist and a liberal and every person matters to me.
as i read somewhere and now repeat every chance i get, you don't have to love Obama to vote for him. You just have to love your family.
