Okay with you?

There are lots of prominent Republicans/conservatives who have endorsed Obama. Two that surprised me was Julia Nixon Eisenhower (daughter of Richard Nixon and granddaughter-in-law of Dwight Eisenhower) and Francis Fukuyama (the political economist who basically was responsible for neo-conservatism).

I write plenty for this site; I don’t visit very much.  But it is becoming increasingly clear to me that load times are kinda slow. I think I’ve got too many bells and whistles, even for those with fast Internet access. So, yeah.  I’ll clean that up at some point. At some point.

For the first time, Rassmussen polls Obama ahead of McCain in North Carolina. North Carolina Trends: McCain vs. Obama Date McCain Obama 9/23/2008 47% 49% 9/18/2008 50% 47% 8/13/2008 46% 42% 7/15/2008 45% 42% 6/10/2008 45% 43% 5/08/2008 48% 45% 4/10/2008 47% 47% 3/20/2008 51% 42%
