Got my Republican friend to vote absentee for Claire and Obama in MO

She spent time Texas and was influenced by family and a conservative church there. She even recently posted anti-Obama facebook photos and had Ryan "liked" on facebook. Even today. Most of her family is conservative.

So she reads my posts about politics on a daily basis and I was one of the only people on the planet who knew she was on the fence. I told her a few days before she voted that she would be alone in the voting booth. She sure the hell wasn't going to vote for Todd Akin but I think the final straw for her on Romney was my ripping into Romney over and over about his lies around his folders full of women/record as Governor.

The gender gap is real and it's well deserved.
