I know a fair number of both undecideds and unenthusiastic McCain supporters who can most certainly be persuaded to vote for Obama in November. The people I'm referring to are not low-information voters. They're intelligent and well-informed but for whatever the reason (most often, a history of voting Republican), they have not made the move to vote for Obama, despite serious misgivings about McCain.
Because these people live in Florida, where I grew up, I feel a particular urgency to persuade them this month. I've had many conversations with them of course but sometimes in the spur of the moment you leave out key arguments or don't express yourself as well as you could have.
So I decided to write it all down. MY case, well-researched and rational, but also passionate, for why Barack Obama needs to be elected the next President of the United States. It is long (under 6 pages on Word), but I lay it all out there and will be emailing it to every swing vote I know.
It is yours to read below the jump. Please feel free to send it off to your undecideds. And please feel free to send me feedback, to fact-check me if I'm wrong, and to add your thoughts.
Lets win this damn thing already.
