So I came home today to find a flyer from the Ohio Christian Alliance stuck in my door. On the cover is a listing of the hot issues of the day, with the candidates stances. They pretty clearly wanted me to vote McCain, but I agree with Obama on more things. So, I wrote a nice thank-you note, as instructed by generations before:

Thank you for the voter guide you sent me. I had been planning on voting for McCain, but that was before I realized how closely Obama came to my stance. Thank you for helping me become a better informed voter.

So, I was planning on voting McCain back in 2000, but somehow I forgot to mention that. That’s not relevant, is it?
