1. Obama if he votes
-Reason being he's explicitly stated as being from Wisconsin and a public service employee. He likely feels like a lot has been taken away from him and so if he feels motivated to vote (questionable), he'll probably vote Obama as the Democrats seem to be the one's fighting the folks that want to take his benefits away.
2. Obama if he votes
-Despite having it all, he's chronically bored, finding his only joys in music and possibly his girl. He's not motivated to use his money as leverage to make more money, so he's probably not to concerned about tax policy and the like and is obviously not a Randian (or other Paulite) for the same reason. Likely places higher importance on social interactions, and thus might be prone to seeing Republicans as being anti-fun due to their social conservatism. Or alternatively, if you go with the lowest common denominator, Obama probably seems more hip. But, also unlikely to vote unless pressured by friends (who would probably be Obama folks anyway).
3. Romney if she votes
-Probably the trickiest of the three. But I think it comes down to her background and low information status. Romney has stated he's pro-life. Romney's from Massachusetts. They have gay marriage there. Therefore, to her Romney supports gay marriage and is also pro-life, just like her. Its amazing! (Yes folks, I've met people who think like this) In 2008 she probably voted Obama (if she voted) as he came off as more of a family man.
4. Romney, will vote
-Due to his disaffection from the Paulites, he'll be casting about for the next best thing. Even more so if the Paulites make a stink at the RNC (is likely on the verge of deciding they're trouble makers and hurt the cause). Is likely pragmatic enough to realize that neither candidate that has a chance of winning is going to do much to change the drug laws, with only a slight edge to Obama there, so has to default to economic issues, which even so would probably dominate their thinking. And given Obama supports the government doing things, while Romney wants the government doing less things, Romney is the obvious option. And his hard core Randian philosophy precludes giving up without a fight, or a clear path for going Gault.
