"If you were an ABO person before, I cant see you not being one because of Condi."

It's a good thing Drudge is just being used, because you couldn't be more wrong...

Really? So you think that people that are for Romney now to keep Obama out would turn against him because of the VP choice of Condi Rice?

Difference of opinion, but I just dont see it. If you are ABO then thats just the point. ABO. I dont see someone who says I’m voting for Romney to keep Obama out of office would look at the situation and say “Ok, I was OK with just Romney, but now with Condi then I’m out, even at risk of Obama”. If your reasoning is the pro-choice stance, then I’d counter that people that have abortion as their primary issue probably weren’t in the ABO camp to begin with, but are more in the I wont vote for Romney anyway camp, as his abortion record is not great. Again, there may be exceptions, but by in large, I just dont see a mass ABO exoudus.

Now, if you want to say that people that were on the fence with regards to voting for Romney would be pushed away by her, then you may have something. Condi certainly wouldn’t be a reach out and hug the conservatives candidate...I’ll concede that.

Dont get me wrong, she’s not my favorite choice either. Not defending the pick, just saying I cant see your typical ABO voter saying “now I’ll risk Obama and stay home” over her.
