25. My Mother is 75

Was a lifelong Republican until 2004 when she voted for Kerry, then Obama in 08 (I am a lifelong Dem voter BTW)

She would never vote for any of these current Republicans and is just as outraged as the rest of us.

She has advanced stage cancer and went out to vote for Obama on Tuesday in spite of the fact that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to stand up for very long at the precinct.

This latest round of chemo has really wiped her out, so she didn't realize she should have requested an absentee ballot instead of having to physically vote.
