This is my first ever post in the political forum (unless the admins move some of my posts here) but I wanted to state my view even if some of this has been mentioned before.

I have only voted for a democrat for office once, Jimmy Carter. I was young and impressionable and he came to an Allman Brother's concert I was at. Stupid reason I know. Since then I have always like the conservative ideas expressed by the Rep. party.

In this election I sense that this country needs a change. Obama may not have the experience, he may not have the proper vision for the country but I think many people will have confidence in him and sometimes a psychological change is better than an actual change. You see this type of thing all the time in the stock market. Everything looks bleak but something happens that boosts confidence and BOOM we have a new bull market. It's time for a new bull market in Washington and for that reason, this conservative Republican, is hoping that Obama gets the nod. But 4 years from now...
