I literally begged and begged a friend of mine to vote for Obama. He wasn't going to cast a vote for President at all. He didn't trust Obama or Romney to not get us into another armed aggression somewhere. He's passionately anti-war.
What finally swayed him was the sure coming appointment of a least 2 new Justices in the next four years.
That fact was what finally did it for him.
