Well, that is true to a certain extent. The independents are up for grabs and they are leaning towards Obama two to one. Also, folks like me switched to vote Democrat. I don't think there are a lot of us, but given that folks like Buckley switched as well, I have to believe I'm not the only Republican switching to vote for Obama. I know I care a great deal about the deficits and national debt. It is the number one reason I started getting pissed off with the Republican Party in the early 2000's. But here's what I know. The Dems believe in PayGo rules and have promised to get back to that. The Reps abandoned those PayGo rules when they took majorities in both houses from 2001-6. So given that history, I want to give the Dems a chance to make good on their promise to abide by the PayGo rules that brought us surpluses in the late 90's. McCain has made no such promise. The real question is whether either candidate will abandon all the other big spending promises they've made in favor of PayGo. Tough choices for sure await the next President.
