I know he's a Republican, but he's not a right wing crazy. I haven't seen him since last fall, but I do plan on asking him when I see him this summer. My guess is it'll be Romney.

I see myself as a conservative Democrat and generally avoid discussing politics with friends. You regularly read posts on DU about friendships or family relationships that were ruined over political disagreements. For me, it's not worth that risk.
