My 62 year old mother was an HRC supporter until she started going negative. She kept saying there was "something" she didn't like about Obama, but could never tell me what it was. I have a feeling, but I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie on this. Because, while she was a sideline Hillary supporter, she is now a flat out, balls to the wall Obama supporter. She and I both volunteered to work the Charlotte, NC Town Hall yesterday. Now, she not in the best of health, but wanted to contribute to the campaign so badly, that they found her a spot at the entrance of the facility sitting down checking contraband. She's not working and has vowed to visit the Charlotte Campaign Headquarters daily and do anything she can to get Obama elected. Hillary never inspired this much support from my Mom.

        I love the angle. Much more realistic to my usual view from my height :D.
        
        We should do a height poll.

  were more like both of yours. My mom's still steadfastly in the Hillary camp. My sisters and I have been working on her, and I've been dropping little facts about Obama into our conversations. I don't think there's much doubt she'll vote for Obama if he's the nominee, but I'd feel a lot better if she were excited about it.
