Obama supporter among Palin crowd

CLEARWATER -- At least one Barack Obama supporter found his way to Coachman Park. Dominic Grillo, 76, of Dunedin, saw Obama when he spoke at Knology Park two weeks ago. Curiosity caused him to ride his bike down the Pinellas Trail to Clearwater. He said he wouldn't wait in line to see Palin, but when there were no lines, he decided to join the throng.
But he's far from converted. Grillo says McCain has poor judgment on everything, and he considers Palin an example of that poor judgment.
"She's certainly a smart woman, but she's certainly not presidential material, at least not yet.''
-- Jonathan Abel, Times Staff Writer
