Eric Hirshberg: Republicans for Obama.

“I started asking around and found a number of my liberal friends were having a similar experience. So we asked these folks if they would appear on camera and share with the world why they changed. It seemed to me that the most convincing argument a conservative on the fence could hear might not come from a liberal, or even from Obama himself, but instead, from one of their own; a conservative who had crossed over. So we turned on the camera, and they did the rest.”

Wow. When politics and morality jump tracks!
Here’s the original huffpo article.

What do y’all think about this?

Thank you, Eric, for this remarkable document!

Street Conversation


This is a little chunk of concrete on 19th St. between 7th and 8th Avenue.

I pass this little cement rectangle every day during my walks to and from work, and so I’ve been able to follow an interesting conversation as it progresses.

First, an Obama supporter carved the words “God Bless President Obama!” into the still-wet cement. This was up for a week or two before a McCain supporter sprayed the red “McCain” over the word Obama.

Finally, someone came by and put a sticker on the fire hydrant that reads: “Abort the Republicans.”

Amazing. In New York, even the sidewalks have opinions and arguments.

We say: Better a hundred thousand arguments than a single fist fight.

God, I love this town. Blessings to both candidates, to free speech, and to the incredible city of New York.

Love to All,

Jackson
