A few days ago, my almost 86-year-old grandfather was musing about the state of the economy and politics. "You know," he said "I've voted Republican in every election since Wendell Wilkie. Since then, every time our economy has been in trouble, it's been under a Republican president." And with that he's changing his party and is voting for Obama.
If, after 48 years of being a staunch Republican - and 86 years of being quite stubborn to boot - he can change, then so can anyone. Just read the story of Sister Cecilia Gaudette for further proof. The good sister hasn't voted since 1952, is 106-years-old, and she's voting Obama, too.
It gives me hope.
