The TexMo Senior Executive Editor read Christine Allison’s previously discussed op-ed about her decision to vote Obama. “Words fail me,” he wrote at the outset, surprised that the “[epitome of] bedrock Dallas Republicans” is going to vote Democrat. Commenters to his post seem to be roughly 53 percent from supportive, like-minded individuals, 44 percent from word-of-caution second-guessers, and 3 percent ranting loony. (That direct link might be broken; if so, go here and scroll down to Sunday.)
I early voted for Obama and agree with Ms. Allison’s view of what he offers the country after eight years of reckless fiscal policy, fractured party-line politics and needless warring. I don’t agree with everything he promotes, namely selective tax increases and protectionist trade policies, but on the whole he is the best candidate to lead us into the future and restore this country’s image to the rest of the world.
