The lost Republican tapes…
On election night, when I finally left the newsroom, I made my way down to a West Village bar to watch the election results with friends. The bar was packed with crowds who cheered every time a state turned a shade of blue. However, one group of men did not go along with the mass celebration. They booed the blue shades, and were the only ones to cheer when a red state popped on the map of America.
A friendly rivalry emerged between this group and the rest of the bar. However, as the night wore on, it became clear who would be victorious. At that moment, I decided to go up to the small group, and talk about why they supported McCain, and what they hoped to see during an Obama presidency.
One person from the group was willing to be interviewed. His name was Brendan, and he was an Iraq War veteran who served in the army.
