[Onlooker]

Poll question: Do you personally know anyone who voted for or would have voted for Bush who will vote for Obama?

[Pale Blue Dot]

1. My father. nt

[Lilith Velkor]

2. I voted no

just as I remembered a guy who's a maybe, probably yes. x(

[chalky]

3. My sister....

...the idiot.

[lolamio]

4. Yup. My father voted for him in 2004.

[faithfulcitizen]

5. 6, maybe 7 of my hoosier family & friends. And these were bushies in 2004, not just 2000.

[qanda]

6. I know of at least two, but suspect others

Many are ashamed to admit they are responsible for putting Bush in the White House.

[stanwyck]

7. Two co-workers

voted for Bush and are supporting Obama. I, also, suspect more.

[skipos]

8. I know people who ENTHUSIASTICALLY voted for Bush

and are voting for Obama

[truthN08]

9. Yes I do

I have two friends who are married and they voted for Bush twice and they are in Obama's corner now 100% and happy to vote for him. They even have Obama bumper stickers on there cars.

[DFLforever]

10. My son-in-law, a lifelong Republican

His father was a Bush fundraiser.

Sarah Palin was the final straw.

[cwood]

11. Me

I voted for Bush in 2000, couldn't vote for him in good conscience in 2004 so I voted Libertarian, and I finally learned and I'm voting Democratic in this election.

[graywarrior]

12. Two friends

And several republicans who are volunteering at our dem office whom I had never met before.

[stuntcat]

13. my neighbors

my neighbors had a Bush sticker on one of their cars a few years ago and I've held it against them every day.. I smile, I wave, sometimes even talk a few minutes but I will never let that go x(

But now they have an Obama sign in their yard!! Now we have FOUR houses in a row with Obama signs cause my neighborhood rocks :headbang:

[niceypoo]

14. My Boss, her husband...

...and two of my closest co-workers. That is four people out of 9 republicans at work.

The rest of them either won't talk about it, or lose their temper if you say anything political they disagree with.

Bwhahahahahaha!

[Bjorn Against]

15. Probably the most passionate critic of the war that I know voted for Bush in 2000, now she's with us

I protest the war with her on Thursdays after I get off work and she is working very hard to help Obama. Her name is Coleen Rowley, and some of you may have heard of her as she got a lot of press back in 2002 when she worked for the FBI and blew the whistle on the lack of action by authorities before 9/11. Today she is extremely passionate about stopping the war and protecting our civil liberties, she may have voted for Bush in the past but today she is one of the most passionate defenders of civil rights that I have met and we are really lucky to have her on our side.

16. This looks promising n/t

[kerry-is-my-prez]

17. 2 people but I know of an Indy who's voted Dem since Clinton who voted for McCain.

So I guess it's only a one net gain.

[Blasphemer]

18. Yes

A conservative (though not a wingnut) acquaintance of mine voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 (though she did waver in '04) is voting for Obama.

[musicblind]

19. My friend Kasey n/t

[Hassin Bin Sober]

20. I know several.

[JimDandy]

21. My next door neighbor.

I was putting up another Obama sign today (after the previous one was stolen) when she came over and told me she hadn't voted for Clinton either time he ran and didn't like Gore, so she voted Bush. She voted for him TWICE!

This woman who is caucasian, in her forties, a single parent and is chronically ill, has Section 8 subsidized housing, is on disability and receives food stamps AND has had a drug problem in the past. And she was like that all those years she voted Republican. And all those years she gladly partook of all the financial aid programs and drug rehab programs that were started and supported by Democrats. And only now is she voting Democrat - for Obama. And NOT because of her economic situation this time either, but because of PALIN!

Whatever path she took to get here - well, we'll take it.

[JI7]

22. Palin is the biggest reason given

[Dems4me]

23. Thats the bigest reason I heard too. The other said Obama/Biden the best ticket. n/t

[eshfemme]

24. My dad who has promised to vote my way this time around and will.

:evilgrin: It took years of me working him but he finally admitted he was right by telling that for the next election, just tell him how to vote and he'd do it my way.
