One Chance More
Snellville, GA, resident Ellis Joel Daniel, a WWII vet and retired postman, turned 101 today. Daniel, "who voted absentee a month ago, has cast ballots in every race" since '28. "In that election, he couldn't recall for whom he had voted, 'but I know I didn't vote for [Herbert] Hoover,' he said with a wry smile."
In '32, Daniel voted for Franklin Roosevelt. Daniel: "I came up in the Depression, when grown men with families worked for 50 cents a day. I can tell you about it, but there's no way you can relate. Times were hard. I was there."
"Unlike in the past when the nation had a deep understanding of candidates," Obama "remains a mystery, Daniel said. Despite Obama's lead in the polls, Daniel said he thinks" McCain "will pull out a victory." Daniel: "I think the Lord will give [the GOP] one more chance to get the country back on the right track" (AP).
