It’s incredibly odd to think that last winter I was a lukewarm Clinton supporter. I liked Obama, but I was skeptical that he could pull it off. It was Andrew Sullivan, whose blog I have read eagerly these past five years, who changed my mind. I’ve never agreed with Sullivan on everything — particularly in the beginning — but I respect his intellectual honesty, his ability to change course when the facts override ideology, and his rational approach to politics. In many ways, I’ve modeled my approach to blogging after his example. I can’t say how many lunch hours I’ve spent reading the Daily Dish.

I don’t care what his critics say, he’s still a conservative. I’m a progressive and disagree with him on all sorts of policy, but I greatly respect his opinion.

Here he is on Obama’s economic policies. It’s definitely worth a read.
