According to the latest Zogby Poll, one in five conservative voters are leaning towards Barack Obama. There are two ways to look at this, one, these people are lying to the pollster, or two, something has gone radically wrong, pun intended, with those in the conservative movement. With people like Christopher Buckley, son of William F, jumping ship and going over to the Obama campaign it does raise the question, WHY? I can speculate, some are angered by John McCain’s past behavior, some are angered by his recent actions regarding the bailout, those are the two that jump immediately to mind. Other than that I honestly don't know. How can anyone who identifies themselves as conservative support the most liberal candidate put on a national ticket since George McGovern? Someone who openly advocates redistribution of wealth, universal single payer healthcare, and silencing critics with Nazi like tactics, how? Well, I want to know. I have set up a new e-mail address just for this purpose. Any of you reading this who identify yourseleves as conservative and have either voted for Barack Obama or are planning to vote for Barack Obama, please e-mail torchlight08@gmail.com. Only true conservatives please, no abusive e-mails and give as much information about yourself as you are comfortable with, for example: age, sex, geographic location, party affiliation, who you've voted for in the past, rough income bracket ie 10 to 20, 30 to 50 or 50 and above, and why you have either voted for Barack Obama or are planning to. All information including e-mail addresses will be kept confidential and you will not be contacted by myself or anyone else. I will report all results on this blog tomorrow morning. Thanks in advance for participating. In the meantime here is the link to the Zogby results: http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1620
