Sorry, Dad, I’m Voting for Obama

Sorry, Dad, I’m Voting for Obama – The Daily Beast:

“Let me be the latest conservative/libertarian/whatever to leap onto the Barack Obama bandwagon. It’s a good thing my dear old mum and pup are no longer alive. They’d cut off my allowance.

Or would they? But let’s get that part out of the way. The only reason my vote would be of any interest to anyone is that my last name happens to be Buckley—a name I inherited. So in the event anyone notices or cares, the headline will be: ‘William F. Buckley’s Son Says He Is Pro-Obama.’ I know, I know: It lacks the throw-weight of ‘Ron Reagan Jr. to Address Democratic Convention,’ but it’ll have to do.”

Yep. That’s right. Another conservative / libertarian like myself who’s on the Obama bandwagon.

McCain is just not the man that I want in charge of this country. His temperament, age, and yes, his politics just don’t seem like a fit for the times.
