thinks Ron Paul is saying all the right things. She voted for Reagan, George Bush first term, then Clinton, then Bush, then Kerry, then Obama.

She's not dumb but she's not politically active or well informed - just main stream media info. I'd say she votes on her "feelings" and I've found her to be a pretty accurate gage for main stream America. Right now, she's liking Ron Paul.
