I got a newly registered republican to Vote for President Obama

I woke up this morning and was checking facebook when I got an instant message.

It was from a co-worker who is 24 years old. He proudly showed me his brand new voter ID a few weeks ago. He registered as a republican in the reddest red state, Oklahoma. His message simply said, "I just wanted you to know that you and I will be voting for the same person."

I am so happy! I got one, I changed one mind!

Now, let's go out and win this mother!

I heard several republican women say they were going to vote for the president this time too. Republicans shot themselves in the foot with their anti-women platforms.
