Frankly, she alone made that vote palatable.
I don't see Mitt having a running mate that good, frankly, and even if he did, all the sugar in the world won't hide the turd in the punchbowl.
That leaves me with candidates in the GOP and Dem Party who both not only support the murderous slaughter of the unborn, but want me to pay for it in direct conflict with my religious beliefs. These aren't arcane beliefs, they are shared by millions. Few would support murdering babies outside the womb, and those who have been convinced the shredding of little bodies inside the womb, or the chemical poisoning of infants in utero is somehow less murder because you can't hear them scream are deluded or deceived.
This alone is cause for me to withhold my support for either.
Add in the attempts to legitimize perversion by claiming two people of the same sex can be "married" (also flying in the face of my Christian belief).
Add in the hostility toward my Right to keep and bear arms from both parties, and I have to look elsewhere for a candidate if I am to vote for anyone for POTUS.
After decades of voting for lesser evils, we have reached the point where the difference between the evils presented is almost negligable.
Granted, Romney won't be pusing for Odinga style racist rioting, but with the current mentality out there, that may well come anyway, with a similar resolution.
It is time to choose to stand in the face of evil and deny it, whatever flag it may fly. I will vote my concience, or just vote downticket.
