That same debate that Lawrence is so in awe of has caused a close friend of mine to "pull a romney" and go third party 2 weeks before the election! He's in a blue state but I got off the phone thinking that the friendship was over, not just because of the erratic switch based on very little facts, but also because it's yet another bad decision to add to the growing pile of bad decisions he's making in other areas of his life.
