Poll: How many republican members of your family say they are voting for President Obama in 2012?


How many republican members of your family said they are voting for President Obama in 2012?

Since DU3 doesn't have a 'poll' function yet, please use the comments for your answer.


p.s. All of my family members are Democrats, so I'll have to sit this one out.

and a Mormon and is anxious to vote for Romney if he is the GOP candidate. I don't know what he thinks of Newt Gingrich though, he is a family values type republican but I did manage to convince him to vote for John Kerry in 2004.

He'll probably vote for Jim Beam long before he would actually drag himself out to the polls, instead of just shooting his mouth off.

when she was in Iraq during the second year. She voted for Bush TWICE.

She voted for McCain in 2008, but she's voting for Obama this time. Her husband, also in the military, is still waiting for Romney.

I think at least one of them is convinced that she would burn in hell if she ever voted democratic.

They'll vote for the Christian every time.

Yeah I know they live in the dark ages, but even a broken clock... well you know the rest.

my republican family members and i steer clear of politics. and if they are going to vote for the only reasonable candidate, they're probably too embarrassed (over ever having done otherwise) to admit it to me.
so, i don't know. i can only hope.
