Susan Eisenhower, that is.
"As a result of this campaign I am more confused than ever about what Mitt Romney stands for. I know little of his core beliefs, if he even has any. No one seems to agree on what they are, and that’s why I do not want to take a chance on finding out."

This was totally off topic, but this reminded me of seeing David Eisenhower at the National Book Festival on C-SPAN a few weeks ago.
I forget what the question was, but Eisenhower was addressing why the South switched from Democratic to Republican in the '50s-'80s.
According to him, it was because of the GOP's "economic policies." He didn't say a word about desegregation, the Civil Rights movement, or Nixon's Southern Strategy.
It was a real facepalm.
It's ironic that the South
