Thanks Laura. I also am a moderate Republican, but voted for McCain because this year I’ve become a one-issue voter: campaign reform. That’s because reforming the money flow is the one issue that controls all others. Right now the moneyed interests have control but don’t have to run for office. They remain in power with no fear of being unelected.

That said, however, I also think Obama will do okay. He has a strong following that will demand reform.

Thanks for your comments and insights. I am a moderate Republican who can no longer stand what is now known as party regulars. But I have voted for Obama, we need change, Jack. And I don’t believe McCain would be strong enough to bring it. He will be controlled by the same people who brought us Bush.
This is a great piece.
