John Mayer is voicing his support for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in a column at the Huffington Post ahead of next Tuesday’s U.S. elections. Mayer writes:
Just when I’d thought my only role as an adult was to help shoulder the nation through its darkest days (known to us as “the rest of them”), Obama gives me the feeling that I could be alive to witness one of the most brilliant upturns in a country’s history.
