Wendy Button - So Long, Democrats
One of my favorite sayings is "Hope clouds observation".
Keeping that in mind is instrumental when it comes time to make evaluations.
The writer here seems to be a good example of one who has learned that lesson...

Meet Wendy Button, "A speechwriter for Obama, Edwards, and Clinton on why she’s voting McCain:
"I can no longer justify what this party has done and can’t dismiss the treatment of women and working people as just part of the new kind of politics. It’s wrong and someone has to say that. And also say that the Democratic Party’s talking points—that Senator John McCain is just four more years of the same and that he’s President Bush—are now just hooker lines that fit a very effective and perhaps wave-winning political argument…doesn’t mean they’re true. After all, he is the only one who’s worked in a bipartisan way on big challenges.
Before I cast my vote, I will correct my party affiliation and change it to No Party or Independent. Then, in the spirit of election 2008, I’ll get a manicure, pedicure, and my hair done. Might as well look pretty when I am unemployed in a city swimming with “D’s.”"
