I just had a really good conversation on Facebook with a Christian brother from Missouri concerning abortion and my vote for Obama. It was a concise but fruitful conversation.

The Christian Vote, Abortion, and Obama
McCain Palin Rally in Lancaster, PA
I have been to a Obama rally this year. I have been to a McCain rally too. This is the first time in my life that I have heard a candidate for president of the United states speak live. I have heard both candidates, this time around! My wife has heard both too! It’s her first time too. Our children went with me to both rallys. The fact that my kids have heard both candidates for president is awesome all by itself. Who will I vote for, if I vote at all? I may just vote. I am rethinking my decision to withdraw from the national election. Who will I vote for? God only knows.

I’ll be living at the Obama HQ that whole day, providing they get the cable installed so we can watch the results in real-time on cable news.
I made 36 phone calls this evening and to my happy surprise not one registered democrat declared a vote for Hillary. Everyone who was sure of their vote strongly supported Obama. There were three undecided, but no one declared support for Clinton. I think Obama is going to claim an upset victory in PA. Read More
