... In some ways Althouse may be quite characteristic of people whose support for Obama was never really strong in the first place; she was really more against McCain than for Obama. Althouse’s post on why she turned on McCain during the election was much longer than her recent one about Obama. But it was a mirror image of it in the four reasons she states at the end. ...
