[Lambsbread]

Austin - likely Obama, but possibly Romney
Linda - Obama
Daniel - likely Romney, maybe Goode
Karen - likely Romney

[Lambsbread]

Obama.

[Lambsbread]

Obama
Obama
Obama
Obama or won't vote

Seriously, anyone who thinks someone who listens to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Oasis will vote for Romney is nuts.

[Lambsbread]

Romney.

[Lambsbread]

If he lives in Arkansas of all places and votes for Republicans at the state level it's tough to imagine him voting for Obama.

But he's a hispanic teacher.

[Lambsbread]

What makes yo think movie fan 1 would go for Obama considering the demographics for action movies. Movie fan 4 is going to be more likely to cast his ballot for Obama then movie fan 1, who seems like typical macho white guy movie taste.

The spitting image of action

[Lambsbread]

likely Obama.

Overly-unneeded analysis of a hypothetical voter.

Obama.

[Lambsbread]

Ryan: 53 years old, works in a shipyard in South Boston. Unionized, practicing Catholic, married with one grown child in college and one in high school. Recovering alcoholic, but has begun to have a beer again once in a while. Pro-life, undecided on same-sex marriage (used to strongly oppose it). Approved of Romney as governor and voted for him in 2002, but by  2006 somewhat disapproved of him.

Maybe Romney, possibly Virgil Goode.

Isaac: 68 years old, lives in Long Island and commutes to Wall Street. Jewish, multi-millionare investment banker. Divorced twice. Socially tolerant/liberal (has a gay son), but very hawkish and pro-Israel (but leans towards exiting Afghanistan in 2014). Fiscally moderate; opposes Dodd-Frank but supports reinstating Glass-Steagall, supports Social Security reform but also supports universal health care.

Rocky Anderson.

Allison: 38 years old, lives in Anaheim, California, works as a manager of a local Target. Half white and half Vietnamese; her father was a Vietnam veteran who brought a wife from South Vietnam. Married with two young children. Former Catholic, now a member of a Methodist church.

Maybe Romney? Depends on her stance on war in general. Considering her father is a veteran, she may have witnessed firsthand his possible PTSD.

I'm gonna say Obama.

[Lambsbread]

Overly-unneeded analysis of a hypothetical voter.

Obama.

As opposed to just shouting out a name?

Sorry, I know reading is hard for some people. Just sound it out, next time.

Was 5 paragraphs necessary though? I could understand a few sentences, but that's over-analysis.

[Lambsbread]

I never crowned myself chief of anything. I also never said that you analysis was bad, it was rather interesting, but I just found it strange that you used that much analysis. My apologies.

So my analysis was both "rather interesting," and "overly-unneeded."? Umm, okay. Thanks, I guess.

Doing more work than one needs to do isn't inherently a bad thing.

[Lambsbread]

John M. Kennedy - Obama, pretty safely.

[Lambsbread]

John M. Kennedy - Obama, pretty safely.

He could vote for third party candidate since he hates Obama stances on issues such as the Patriot Axt and his foreign policy.

Perhaps Rocky Anderson.

[Lambsbread]

Hmm...that's tough. I'd probably say lean Obama, but it depends on his views.
