GOOD NEWS
One of my son's college friends recently returned from Europe (old and new!). Texas born and bred, he WAS a Bush man, a conservative Republican, talk radio listening kinda guy who bought the GOP talking points hook, line and sinker.

Well, well, well a summer abroad has opened his eyes and mind. He has returned a changed young man. He tells everyone and anyone that this country HAS GOT GET RID OF BUSH. He has seen first hand how much the US is now hated ... because of Bush. He has also had a taste of non-Pravda media. I tell ya the kid is on a roll. He's already converted his head-in-the-sand relatives who still live in Texas, some of his friends at the military school he and my son attend and heaven only knows who else.

He's like a reformed smoker only less obnoxious. He's bright, witty, impressive, remarkably changed and has a winning way about him. We need him in OH, PA, MI, WVa ... or in an ad. Wish we could bottle that European experience and spread it over red states!
