Former New York Mayor Ed Koch, who supported Bush in 2004 has recently changed his tune. Now that he's supporting Obama, people want to know why. "The designation of Palin to be vice president," he said. "She's scary."
He also said this of Obama:
I have concluded that the country is safer in the hands of Barack Obama, leader of the Democratic Party and protector of the philosophy of that party. Protecting and defending the U.S. means more than defending us from foreign attacks. It includes defending the public with respect to their civil rights, civil liberties and other needs, e.g., national health insurance, the right of abortion, the continuation of Social Security, gay rights, other rights of privacy, fair progressive taxation and a host of other needs and rights.
