I gave my two nieces some advice, which I rarely do. I told them that when they are chosing a husband, not to marry a man with a handshake like a sweaty marshmallow. At the time, I worked in a bank and in my job, I shook quite a few sweaty marshmallow hands ..... Romney reminds me of those banker types a lot. BTW, one of my nieces just married a couple of months ago - good ol’ Southern boy (college educated), hunts, fishes, can fix anything, and dearly loves God, country and my niece. She chose well .... and she’ll vote for ‘true grit’ as well, along with a lot of other Southern women who find the shallow pandering drawl & grits comments offensive. Still waters run deep & so do Southern women.
My niece, who just turned 20, is model-gorgeous, sweet and pleasant as the day is long, and loves hunting and pickup trucks (she got a new shotgun for Christmas and was running around, showing it off to everybody). Her mom's husband---her stepfather---was from up north, and he was so worried that she might end up marrying some Southern redneck.
They're divorced now, and he's back up north. :)
