She lives across country, we communicate by phone (rarely) and email, often.
and have never discussed politics, we have other mutual interests.
Till yesterday. I commented on her state's early voting, she told me she had voted for Romney.

Now, this is not a high information voter type, granted.
But still.....
I am still feeling gob smacked.
