Just a short article on a moderate Republican turned Independent endorsing Obama. We discussed Lincoln Chafee in class a couple of weeks ago so I thought this was an interesting article following up on that discussion.
This also made me think about sophisticated voting. Obama seems to be attracting voters from all walks of life, as well as both sides of the scale. No matter who you like, if anyone, on the Democratic side of things...you have to take into account their chances of winning in the general election.
This is a class blog for the students of POLSCI 426: Congressional Politics at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.

When you say Obama attracts people from all walks of life, I doubt any true conservative would vote for him. In addition anyone who is Pro-life, and wants to enforce our immigration laws would not vote for him. So people from all walks of life will not vote for him, including me. Some say he is like JFK, some people forget JFK was no shoe in for re-election. His civil rights bill and tax bills were going nowhere prior to his death. So if one thinks Obama will be this ineffective, I agree.
