For every Republican who may vote for President Obama this year, there are at least 2-3 that are so hateful that they will be voting against President Obama rather than for Mitt Romney. I have family that are so racist that they cannot or will not see Romney for what he is. Rather they would vote for anyone as long as it isn't President Obama.
Pretty shallow thinking, but unfortunately very true. I am positive and optimistic that President Obama will prevail, but I also want to be cautious at the same time by continuing to encourage everyone to VOTE, VOTE, VOTE if they want President Obama back in office.
