My Mom, a lifelong R, has a strong distrust of Romney. She feels Pres. Obama is a good man. So, her absentee ballot is in the mail with a vote for Obama and Biden. Mom's a retired public school employee so his/their (R/R) negative views/actions/threats against teachers, public schools, and teachers unions repulsed her. Romney/Ryan's threats to weaken Social Security and Medicare also turned her against voting for R/R.
