My daughter just texted me her roommate long time Republican is voting for Obama.

Reasons given in order of priority:

1. Despises Todd Aiken
2. Romney endorses all of Obama's positions on foreign affairs. She liked Obama's positions anyway.
3. She is pro choice.
4. Her parents are wealthy enough to go to Romney fundraisers heard similar message and found Romney disgusting but will vote for him anyway. (1%)
5. Everyone in house ( at school) has been laughing at the binders full of women quote and Obama with horses an bayonets quip.

Only regret was that Obama did not use Romnesia line to Romney's face. Romney's belligerent son did not help. There is hope for the next generation.

1. Who was it who said all the joking didn't translate to votes?

2. The girls in the Sorority who will soon be looking for jobs did not appreciate the binders quip.

Obama has good joke writers he needs to use them more. It works with these girls.

7. He's also got a wonderfully dry sense of humor

he must be hilarious when he's not on the record at a party!
makes me wish i could have known him at that time ya know?
Talk about someone I'd WANT to have a drink with

3. We need all these stories and encouragement we can get ... Thank you.

4. She should be reminded she can be insured on her parents policy because of Obamacare ...

until she's 26. That can be important if she decides to go past a bachelor's degree. Her health insurance has to cover well woman exams and contraception.

5. Parents wealthy enough to pay for anything out of pocket why I am so impressed with her.

This young person has critical thinking skills.

8. LibROOL kolege can do that to a person

be careful of the lubrool schools, they TEACH THINGS... like kritikal thinking and um.. spelling an stuff!

/sarcasm

seriously though, that's WHY the republicans are so afraid of GOOD and proper education that teaches reason, critical thinking, eloquence, debating skills, basic economics, and fact checking.

that's THEIR kryptonite... the truth and reality!

11. Correct. Santorum who visited this school came over like a lead balloon.

[bushisanidiot]

6. Those republicans who went to fundraisers and were turned off by romney

won't necessarily be going to the polls to vote for him.

the mormon factor will come into play in many republicans minds on election day.
they WILL have buyer's remorse.

9. Why is her roommate a Republican? Serious question.

Was she raised that way and perhaps she's forming her own views about things now that she's off on her own?

10. We are spending every cent we can to send our daughter to school at the end of the month busted.

You could consider us upper middle class and we are life long Democrats. We have 6 college degrees. As one of the poor girls in her house my daughter keeps her opinions to herself when asked will identify herself as a Democrat and will say why. The young lady in question made up her own mind. There are others in her house who are upper income and are Democrats. They attend a Liberal Arts College
