Help, please...
dh has a McCain supporting friend who is having second thoughts. What are some good nonpartisan websites where he can get info on Obama? He doesn't want anything that leans left - or links to articles on right-leaning sites that have articles praising Obama.

3. Why not go to BarackObama.com?
Get it straight from there instead of from some other place that tries interpret or twist what it says. :shrug:

4. Is he in Florida?
At least get him to vote third party, if nothing else.

How about Vote Smart?

http://www.vote-smart.org/

The entire voting records for both Obama and McCain are on that site (McCain's only goes back to about the mid-90s, I believe).

It's very helpful. Good luck!

6. Maybe a can opener for his brain?
Seriously, he's afraid to read?

I'd just tell him to kiss his job good-bye and be done with it.

7. How about the fact that Christopher Buckley, son of William F Buckley is
now supporting Obama. The former Governor of Michigan has now "un-endorsed" MCCain.
