My mother is going to vote for Obama (I think)

My mother is a wishy-washy moderate swing voter. Definitely liberal on social issues (except abortion, but she is not rabid pro-life or anything) and certainly knows that rich people are trying to screw us over.

I live halfway across the country from her... back in August or so when I talked to her she was not going to vote for Obama, didn't trust him, etc but then I asked her what she thought about Rmoney and she just said "I don't know". I thought she was going to vote for Rmoney because I no longer live with or near her (I usually was able to persuade her with reason). My "stepdad" (they got married when I was 26, so he's not really a dad to me) is center right, but his family is nutty teabagger types. My grandmother is a staunch conservative.

So anyway my mom is surrounded by people I'm sure trying to get her to go against Obama but I spoke to her today and she was leaning Obama and said that Rmoney was out to screw people, was out of touch, and that Ryan was "kind of a doofus". Woohoo! Even the battering assault by righties all around her and she still will be making the right decision.
