From what I gather of FReepers’ perceptions of Romney, he should draw more white Dems than Repub voters; he is clean, articulate, and doesn’t speak with a Negro accent (which sufficed for many Dems in voting for Obama).
In tough financial straits, only the far left stays with the Dems; the rest grudgingly accept that the only way their neighborhoods are safe, taxes stabilize, etc. is to vote for the adult (the Republican). FWIW, the Dem Party of 2012 is far different from that of 2008; it is openly at war with the Christian right (especially Catholics), openly including “gay marriage” in the official party platform, publicly insisting things are OK economically, and doesn’t even mask the socialist agenda. Why would anyone (from welfare queens to union members) ever vote for Obama?
I said they "Imagine" that ~ even though such behavior is contrary to human nature when FACTOIDS are involved.
If both the candidates have a history of being pro-abortion, taking public actions to help advance abortion rights, benefiting gays at the expense of the general public, and so forth, Democrats who don't care for that lifestyle are probably not going to vote for either one. Nor are Conservatives.
