I like Barney Smith. Barney lives in Marion, Indiana, but last night he was on the stage at Invesco Field. He’s been a Republican most of his life, but the economic policies of the past eight years have put him in a place where he is glad to stand in front of 75,000 Democrats and say, “We need a president who puts Barney Smith before Smith Barney.” Barney was one of several “regular people” who represented the millions who need a government that cares about the socially and economically disenfranchised.
