Great lady, has a bunch of tea party type friends.

They are constantly trying, through email, facebook, and phone calls, to intimidate her into not supporting the President. These are not nice people, and I think these friend's hatefulness is one of the things that has turned her away from Republicans the most, not even to mention the agenda pursued by the Republican candidates.
