qlewkr's down in VA/MD for a family get-together. Last night on the phone she told me that her more conservative siblings agree that they're sad Romney dropped out, he was their first choice, but now they'll support Obama.
Fiscal conservatives were supporting Gov. Romney. Now that he's gone they typically won't vote for Sen. McCain because he's not the type to hand out bags of money and won't vote for Sen. Huckabee because the creepy religious nuts should just vote and not be heard. and won't vote for Dr. Paul because he's a loony that wants to upend fiscal policy, among other things.
So, that means they have to vote for his opponent and hold their noses for four years. So, between Sens. Clinton and Obama, they'll pick the latter because that type typically has an irrational hatred of all things Clinton.

Perfectly understandable.
