Talking to my 83 year old aunt by telephone today.

Me: "Now, be sure to vote and watch the debates. The first one is Wednesday evening. Okay?"

Aunt: "Oh, I'll vote, but, I will not watch the debates."

Me: "You won't watch the debates?"

Aunt: "No."

Me: "Why won't you watch the debates? I am sure you get the stations."

Aunt: "Oh, yeah, I get the station without problem. But, I cannot stand that man."

Me: "What man?"

Aunt: "Romney. I cannot stand that man."

For demographic purposes, my aunt is caucasian and Irish by heritage.
