I flipped a "probably" Romney voter to Obama tonight

[cherish44]

I know it's a rare feat but a few of them will listen to reason and THE FACTS if they are presented. Good deed for the day done

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Good for you, cherish44!

That is not an easy thing to do. It's like turning the Titanic...

I salute you!

[LittlestStar]

2. Thats a major accomplishment. Be proud! nt

[2theleft]

3. Excellent!

That is NO easy task! Good on you!

[gateley]

4. Wow! I've been batting zero!

[ffr]

5. You're fortunate or extremely convincing.

Most Rs here are not open-minded, however, some have crossed over to Obama-Biden or are not voting at all to protest their lack of compassion and utter disappointment for the RR ticket.

[cherish44]

10. This person was kind of a "Obama hasn't done anything so let's get someone else" person...

Not really a hardcore Republican but he was planning on "probably" voting for Romney. The "probably" was all I needed to hear. Just showed him the facts and they did their talking for me. We need to point out those who can still be reasoned with and tell them what's what.

6. Every time you flip a voter to the light side, an angel gets it's wings.

Thank you!

[renate]

7. good for you!

And who knows what the ripple effect might be!

[BlueCaliDem]

8. "Probably" or not, you get a huge round of applause from everyone

because everyone knows how hard it is for Republicans/Romney-supporters to have a change of mind based on the facts. It's already hard for any average person to have a change of mind - although facts do have a positive effect on the majority of people - but getting a "probably" flip from a Romney-supporter is HUGE since they, well, ignore facts.

A huge round of applause for cherish44! Yeah, you rock!

9. physical confrontation is not usually a good idea but if Judo helps you get it done, so be it.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

11. Any particular fact you can pass along?

[cherish44]

12. "Tell me what you like about Romney...other than the fact that he's not Obama..."

::cricketsounds:: Plus what Obama wanted to do but the GOP congress blocked. His argument is "Obama hasn't done anything"

[merrily]

13. Facts are a good thing.

[Left Coast2020]

14. Tea Baggers are a much more heavy lift to "flip"

Wonder if has something to do with having an African-American as President?

Nahhhh.


BTW, Is OP in a swing state?

[PatrynXX]

15. yeah but

we got zinged by a local hero in wrestling today ( real wrestling) Dan Gable put his endorsement out on Mitt Romney. Not sure how my Retired doc who's a tea party doc would take that, would he suddenly go left? Dan Gable's dog kinda took a chunk out of his leg when he was younger. (Cedar Falls, IA history)

Think alot less of Dan Gable , but really don't think much of him in the first place because his dogs have bit people. Someone who's been supporting our vets coming home supports a guy who doesn't

but what you did is just as good.

20. thanks cha now i have the facts at hand in one place ,n\t

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

21. thanks for your concern

thanks for your concern why are you here at du advocating for a third party now why not start your own after nov 6 their will plenty of converts .

[goldenmonkey]

22. I have no desire to start a party...

Simply planting seeds. I believe those ascribing to liberal principals have their hearts in the right place. I plant on the other side too, but the ground is less fertile there.

[Cha]

23. Your seeds are stupid. Of course, President Obama's supporters stand

behind his policies and knowing he has our back.

[seabeyond]

24. as a woman, i will tell you only one needed reason for me to vote dem. supreme court. i get

that it would not matter nearly as much if you are a man.

but, as a woman. that is all i need.

carry on.
