Dear Editor:
I am an Obama supporter, but in the beginning, deep down, I wouldn't mind if McCain had won. This is because I was a resident of Arizona when he was in office. I laughed and enjoyed his attitude back in his days on the "Daily Show" with Jon Stewart. McCain seemed to be a pretty cool guy.
I became leery after he did a commencement speech at the opening of Jerry Falwell's university. The religious nut job who blamed 9/11 on America's sin. Despite this I still had hopes he would be a fine president if he managed to beat Obama.
After the Rep Convention, where he failed to do anything but bash Obama, I lost all hope in McCain. Palin's speech was a snide one, meant to divide and ridicule. Obama's acceptance speech was different, it gave me hope, and I realized there is only one man fit to lead, Barack Obama! Obama rings with the spirit of real leaders, Kennedy or King, but McCain and Palin are sadly just politicians.
