This morning my Republican husband says: [View all]

I can tell you one thing, I won't be voting for Romney. He's a liar"

Yippee!

We're in Colorado, a swing state. And, he had been planning on voting for Mitt, because he thought Mitt could work across the isle since he probably wasn't conservative on social issues.

But after all this... Mitts a definite no go.

His vote won't go to Obama. It'll probably go libertarian. But, it's now a decisive non-Mitt vote from a Repub.

Yeah!
