How Boston area executives plan to vote

As with voters across the country, local business leaders are making their election choices based on what they see as the most pressing issues

Wall Street is backing Mitt Romney; big technology is behind President Obama. But beyond the donors with the deepest pockets, how are other business leaders, large and small, planning to vote this election?

Small business owners in September were leaning heavily toward Romney — 66 percent vs. 19 percent for Obama — according to a Wall Street Journal/Vistage Small Business CEO survey. And findings by Manta Media Inc. similarly showed small business owners preferring Romney by a wide margin, although 56 percent thought Obama would win.

what a surprise

Romney / Ryan are The Dark Side.

Gee, nearly all the old white men (except the one concerned with protecting others' health) are voting the GOP ticket.  What a surprise!  The Government isn't a business and will never be run like one, thus Romney's vaunted 'experience' is largely irrelevant, while his party's pre-disposition to reward the self-proclaimed 'winners' that constitute their base is down right detrimental to our nation's future.

Why do you feel the need to point out anyones skin color. We can all see the pictures. Another racist. Smarten up.

I am a white man, so pointing it out they are can hardly make me a racist. Lighten, and brighten, up. BTW, AWM = American Taliban.

Obama is a failure. He wants people dependant on government. Romney will get things right, getting Americans working and self-reliant.

The following pundits predicted Romney would win over 310 electoral votes: Glenn Beck, George Will, Dick Morris, Ed Morrissey, Larry Kudlow, Newt Gingrich, and Michael Barone. You can feel free to never listen to any prediction or pronouncements they make, ever again.
