A very interesting piece- this woman was forced to re-think and change her opinion of the president because of his betrayal of Israel.

But...but...but...hasn't it been said "once you go black, you never go back?"

I'll give her credit for getting over her white guilt in less than 4 years.

I have to believe that there are plenty more who supported the thug last time that are now disillusioned. I actually read this morning that the great political mind Ben Affleck isn’t too thrilled with O this time around. He’s probably not far left enough for Ben.

Don’t buy it!

Crown may be talking Romney but
- she’s from Chicago
- voted for Obamugabe before and
- is subject to gummint regulation in some part of her business life.

Don’t buy it!

I’m sure this will be all over the NYT and NBC News. You know how they always like to run stories of people who previously vote Democrat switching to Republican!

It’s actually worthwhile reading- though long. She knows lots of Chicago “people”..

I guess her message is you can be pro-gay marriage and pro-abortion and still believe 0bama is so awful that even a moderate? Republican is a better choice?

Is this Susan Crown related to the late Colonel Henry Crown?

That's exactly right.

We may not like it- but we are living in a country with a lot of people who do not think the way we do. We want the perfect candidate- just as the left does- and we holler when we don't get him or her. Meanwhile- what must depend on, to save our country from a nightmare we can barely imagine, are men and women like Susan Crown.

I don't care- I'm happy to have her on our side - just as I was happy to have the PUMA gals for Hillary that switched to McCain. I've said many times if Romney gets elected I am certain that I will not be happy with his decisions and ideas all the time. But- I will not go to bed at night with the sickening knowledge that the man running the country HATES IT.

Mitt Romney may be a lot of things- but hating America isn't one of them. Given the alternative, that's enough for this voter in this election.

Thanks for the post. Very informative and lifting!

I was particularly taken with her closing comment:

“I have been blessed in my life to work with some of the most capable mentors and leaders. And I think I can spot them at this point. He is extraordinary. He is smart. Capable. Focused. Driven. Principled. Humane. Clear. He’s a gentleman. And to have a person of his quality? We ought to jump on this opportunity to get someone of his quality elected.”

That says it for me!

Why would she lie if she really supported Zero?

From your link:

CF: Back to politics for a second. Whatever one thinks of Romney’s politics, why so much ridicule on the personal side [with his looks and style]?

SC: He is the eHarmony date of the Republican Party. [The ridicule] is baffling to me. I have really gotten to know him pretty well over the last six months and the more time I spend with him, the more impressive he is to me as a candidate and as a human being. It is not very comfortable for him to wear his emotions on his sleeve. His son told me a story that I used when I introduced Mitt [at the fundraiser]. [Mitt] was visiting his mother in Michigan and they had an old cabin that was structurally unsound. The floor collapsed, and Mitt and his mother fell through the floor. The son told me that Mitt had one hand under her neck comforting her and the other hand dialing 911. He’s the real deal.

We need to figure out what it is that makes a mindless 0bot finally see the light. Because I can’t for the life of me figure out what most 0bots see in him. Even granting that they are voting themselves more “free stuff” from the working class, aren’t they actually getting less?

There are multiple stories that when the SHTF, the chance of a positive outcome is higher if Romney is involved.
