Convinced my devout Christian, Right Wing, GOP friend to vote for Huntsman

And he actually is a friend. We avoid politics, but he came to me after the last GOP = Rape is a good thing debacle for help and guidance.

I pointed out that what's his name's position was actually LEFT of the GOP platform, as he specifically wants an exception for life of the mother.

He's not ready to vote for a Democrat for President (a life time of habit is hard to overcome), and he's morally opposed to staying home. So after some discussion, he is either going to vote for Huntsman or write in his wife's name for President

Hey - I'll take what I can get.

But the REAL victory is that after reviewing the platforms of our GOP candidates for the Senate and the House, he has decided to vote for the Democrat.

Baby steps, eh?
