I am all for thoughtful disagreement and folks' right to support the candidate of their choice. But some people these days seem to be twisting themselves into knots to try and find reasons to not support Sen Obama. The latest (and most ridiculous) reason: his apparent faithfulness to his wife. In a post titled "The Shrinkage Factor" (now I wonder how many ways "shrinkage" could be read) the author states:
Barack Obama may be the only male politician of any significance in the past, say, one thousand years who is faithful to his wife. Does anyone doubt Obama's fidelity? Now that it's near certain he will be the Democratic nominee, I've been trying to sort out why I don't think this is a good thing. It's not that I'm pro-infidelity, mind you. As a psychologist who has seen many couples torn to pieces over it, I know how corrosive betrayal is to a relationship. Yet, Obama's certain fidelity is somehow troubling me...
The comments are interesting. Luckily, not everyone has lost their minds.

(Nay, Professor.
They are twisting themselves into knots to try to say they will not support him WITHOUT admitting they won't because he is black.) |

"They are twisting themselves into knots to try to say they will not support him WITHOUT admitting they won't because he is black."
