Democrats for Romney—Jerry Della Femina - NYPOST.com
Why not?
Almost all of my friends are Democrats; all of them voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
Ask them these days, as I have, if they plan to vote for Obama this November, and theyll give you an Oh shucks sad smile, look down, look back up with guilty eyes and say Im disappointed.
Then they play the party line and say. But Romney? But Ryan?
Im not talking about those African Americans, Latinos and lockstep Democrats wholl blindly vote for Obama no matter how high unemployment may be or what shape this country may be in.
Im talking about a good number of intelligent, caring, middle-class Democrats who are a soft nudge away from casting their vote for Romney.
All they need to know is that theyre not alone.
Democrats were disappointed in 1980. Theyd had, under President Jimmy Carter, four years of inflation, unemployment and gas rationing. Yet, when asked, they said, But Reagan?
At this point in 1980, Carter was nine points ahead of Ronald Reagan in the polls. Reagan had been slimed by the press and pro-Jimmy Carter forces as being dumb and bumbling. Sound familiar?
Carter treated Reagan as a ridiculous figure who, among other things, was ignorant of details of nuclear-weapons policy. Reagan cheerfully promised economic growth and asked Democrats, Are you better off than you were four years ago?
In the end, Reagan proved that good-natured conservatism could win by huge margins. But a lot of credit for the win must go to Democrats for Reagan.
Who were they? Well, Wikipedia says:
They were mostly white, socially conservative blue-collar workers, who lived in the Northeast, and were attracted to Reagans social conservatism.

That's what makes Romney so spring loaded. You can't get at these people. They want to vote democrat, but in the end....they just simply cannot.
Obama is a one-termer.
It's looking worse and worse for him each day.
The swing states are swinging back and all obama has to offer is his bats**t negative lie ads.
