The HUGE blow to Romney comes the 7th and 8th,

[magical thyme]

83. Actually, I think they will regret their stance

I think most people will tell them what they want to hear and then doing what they were going to do regardless.

Very few people really love their boss, especially in large corporations, and I suspect ordering people under threat to vote a certain way is more likely to backfire big time. If my lab manager ordered me to vote for Romney, I'd be more certain than ever to vote for Obama. If they ordered me to vote for Obama, I might thinking Jill Stein just for spite, lol.

In my last job, they told us on day one that political discussion was out. That verboten lasted exactly 1 day. Our trainer on day 2 was a Massachusetts libertarian and she could not *wait* to openly and blatantly start bashing Obama, when we were supposed to be getting training. Day 3, a second trainer followed suit.

Only one new hire joined in the Obama bashing, and he was already hard right. The rest of us sat in stunned, hard, angry silence at her attacks on our newly elected President. I know that 2 of us were pro-Obama; I don't know the politics of the other 12 (but it is a "mixed" area that was roughly 50/50 per signs anyway).

By day 4, either management got complaints or they noticed they were hardening us the "wrong" (in their opinion) way, gave it up and stfu.
