I remember attending his first big rally with Cait (my first face to face with another wotmaniac) and remarking to the effect that it all sounded very good but there were no specifics. However, it quickly became a choice between Hillary or Obama, and I wanted a bona fide liberal, not another New "Left" Republican-Lite president handing out taxpayer money to corporate America and expecting me to support trickle down theory just because it had a (D) at the end of it. When debating Hillary he stated that, unlike hers, "his" healthcare plan (turns out HE, unlike her, did not have one) contained no public mandate, and that sold me.

Yes, I am fully aware of the irony; not the best way to convince me they are not all in it together. I voted for Obama and got Romney; now I get... the shaft....
