DENVER - Lenny Julius of Emerald Isle was among the 10 voters who met with Sen. Barack Obama backstage last night before Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Julius is a 67-year-old Vietnam War veteran who served with John McCain in the Navy and supported McCain in 2000, reports Rob Christensen.

But Julius said that McCain has become too strongly tied with the foreign and domestic policies of President Bush, and so he is supporting Obama.
