I saw her facebook page and it said under political views "moderate". I sent her a message that said something along the lines of "I guess they didn't have an option for fanatical right-wing demagogue" as a joke. She took some offense to it and has since then she's been trying to impress me with how balanced she is. Now that she's a die-hard Obama supporter I'm going to claim credit for her conversion.

1. Recommended!
More people should do what you did, and go out and try to win souls (or at least votes :P) for Obama. This is spiritual warfare, dammit!

3. May you have many more conversions. We need the centre if Obama is going to win.

5. The war is the biggest thing you can use with moderates, IMO
At this point it's only the rabid neocons who think that Iraq is still winnable.

But mostly I think it was just reverse psychology. It's like when I see a dumb comedy movie like Anchorman with my sister. I know she doesn't really like them so I always tell her how much she's going to hate it. Invariably, she winds up having a good time.
