Why does it matter what we think?
Tom, you seemed to indicate support for Obama in some way. I was just probing your reasons for that support (in whatever way that means), considering that my understanding of your political inclinations was that you had no great love for either party or their candidates.
This sounds like good advice to me.
I think the question that I would ask now is: why would you ever vote for someone that you didn't support? (i.e. Obama, in this case)
