1. I can't listen at work, but I do listen to Smerconish in Philly...
He has really been speaking HIGHLY of Barack. I think he may end up endorsing him in a general actually. Smerconish always plays the "angry republican" on national tv, but his radio show is SOOOOOO different. He sounds more liberal every day. Seriously.

6. That's interesting. Because until last night I was under the impression that
he was one of those blind loyalists.

3. Surprise! He's pissed about the Iraq war and how we've let Bin Laden off the hook.
I actually think there are a lot of Republicans who may feel the same way deep down.

But I have to admit I didn't know he was a Republican until he said it on air yesterday.

It's great to see how Obama really DOES attract people from all sides!

5. I saw that last night and I was shocked.
I was kind of glad that the remote control was out of reach or else I would have missed it.

7. Believe Me, A Lot Of Repubs Feel The Same Way...
They know they were duped over the Iraq War and they're pissed about it. They believe we should be making a much greater effort to get bin Laden. Obama is right.

9. This isn't the first time
he's had something positive to say about Obama. I remember the first time I'd seen him on TV after a long absense and thought "Okay, let the smears begin.." But he didn't smear. He seemed honestly complimentary.

The neocon agenda has been a disaster and there are many Republicans who can recognize that.
