... I'm leaning towards Romney although I'm worried about his mormanism causing some Repubs to stay at home

My guess is Romney will lower turnout in very red evangelical Christian states from Nebraska to North Dakota along with most states in the South but the remaining voters won't vote for Hillary or Obama anyway. So these electoral votes go to Romney anyway.

I have to say that I am completely unimpressed with the Republican lineup in general, but if you hold my feet to the fire I'd probably vote Romney. I vote by mail since I am in the military and my home of record is in Florida. Actually, given how close Florida has been the last few elections, I guess I will have to vote.
Amusing sidenote: I'm still a registered Democrat in Florida! [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

How in the world does a person go from registering as a Democrat to "Eh i guess ill vote for Romney"?

People change?
Quick history: Mostly raised by my mother, a liberal sort. Bought into the whole liberal worldview. Went to the Naval Academy and had a very conservative roommate. We debate, he gradually wins me over. For a while I didnt progress much beyond the typical talking head rhetoric. Finally I started trying to really decide what I believed. Found some serious works on conservative theory. I now consider myself a conservative in the Burkean sense (read pretty much anything by Russell Kirk to get a sense of my worldview). Unfortunately, very few Republicans fit this mold, but they are a far sight closer than just about any Democrat.
And during all this, I never bothered to change my party affiliation. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
