OFF THE FENCE: Voting Obama http://themoderatevoice.com/at-tmv/newswee...e-voting-obama/

“The great thing about democracy is that it gives every voter a chance to do something stupid.” - Art Spander

Maybe this is my “chance to do something stupid.” Or maybe it’s the smartest decision I’ve ever made. I don’t know. Time will tell. Regardless, the decision has been made.

I first voted for a Democrat for U.S. Senator in November 2006. I now plan to cast my first vote for a Democrat for President next month.

Granted, my road to supporting Sen. Obama has been an on-again, off-again journey — largely because, like Joe Gandelman, I’ve long-respected Sen. McCain, especially the Sen. McCain of 2000. This year, I kept hoping he would defy gravity, which he did for awhile, but no longer. I still agree with much of what McCain stands for and advocates, but he has progressively lost my vote in the last several weeks, for a number of reasons; in particular, what seems to be a worsening case of “bipolarity.”
