Muslims for McCain

Tuesday, 21st October 2008

Again via Coates, some heartening footage of an anti-Obama conspiracy theorist being confronted outside a GOP rally in Virginia.

A BBC reporter also found reasons to be cheerful at the end of his journey across the US:

If I'd learned anything on this trip, it's that preconceived notions won't get you very far here. I'd met conservative Texans who were green energy pioneers and gun enthusiasts who turned out to be cheerful, homely moms. Likewise, there were the gay activists who espoused family values and religious faith, and the evangelical Christians who believed the church ought to stay out of politics. I wouldn't dream of claiming that any of the people I met were representative of America as a whole. How could they be, in a country so magnificently vast and diverse?
