Left-leaners WILL vote Obama in November if the choice is between hard-left and soft-left. Please show me one presidential election where Liberal Lite beat Pure Liberal.
This election is going to be different. You think liberals who have been out of work for the past two years are going to vote for Obama? They'll be hoping for some change as well. Why do you think Romney is doing so well? It isn't because conservatives are pulling for him, that's for sure. He's picking up the center and center/left. To this demographic, Romney is a man they can live with. These people don't post on Free Republic. But they do vote.
