This discussion only diverts from the real issue--the economy. If yesterday's CBO projections mean anything, we need radical ( meaning non-Obama) changes or we are in deep doo doo. ( Pardon the economic jargon.) If taxes go up, then unemployment goes up and we all suffer.

I only vote on social issues. Yes the economy is more important but the election has nothing to do with it. I do not believe that Romney will make any improvement in the economy at least not so far as the middle class is concerned. No conservative has improved the economy so far as I can remember. I am sure the rich will do better but I am not really worried about their well being. So that leaves me with the social issues. There might be an opening or two on the SCOTUS and I really do not want another Roberts, Thomas or Scalia on the bench mush less any more of them in the rest of the federal bench vacancies. I have no interest in more people like Ryan and Akin passing laws that deprive poor women of control over their body.
So yes, I vote on social issues.
