Kellye Serrano once supported the one-time ‘maverick’ John McCain. However, after meeting then-Senator Hillary Clinton 8 years ago at a local book signing, she says she became a die-hard Democrat. “I was shaking. She held my hands in both of hers the entire time,” she says.
Her dream team of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is now just a dream. Kellye says she’s become a staunch Obama supporter. “I think he’s much more of a vision of what can be,” says the mother of a 15-year-old son, Max.
Her biggest fear is that McCain will win, reinstate the military draft, and in three years have to send her son off to war instead of sending him off to college.
“I want him to go to college. I want him to be happy. But I certainly, I, just couldn’t imagine sending him off to war.” Max Serrano is too young to vote, but old enough to know that he’s troubled by both McCain’s age and the candidate’s ‘100 years in Iraq’ comment.
“If we’re there for a hundred years, he’s only going to be there for four of the years, if not re-elected. And then, he’s going to leave it off for some other guy,” says the aspiring young guitarist.
Mom Kellye also says Obama has energized young voters close to son Max’s age. And she says she hopeful that Obama can win in November and keep the next generation moving towards the change she believes we need.
