Women's GOP Primary Picks Vary
Just for fun, Palm Harbor Patch stopped by three local polling locations and asked three different women who they voted for. Guess what? All the answers were different.
found that Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is favored by female voters in Florida. But that's not the case for the three Palm Harbor women we randomly picked in our nonscientific exit poll.
(P.S. Yes, we know there are a lot more women out there! Who is your Republican presidential pick? Let us know below!)
Crystal Beach Polling Location: Nancy LaBrecque votes in every election and thinks her candidate, Mitt Romney, will win the Florida Republican primary and go on to beat President Barack Obama. Romney's business background is what won her over.

"I think he's the one; I like his views. I like him because he's a businessman," LaBrecque said.
Harbor Hall Polling Location: Debra Kurin also votes in every election and calls herself a super voter. "I never miss an election," she said.

Kurin is hoping that her candidate will win the Florida Republican primary and the race for president.Β
"My candidate is Ron Paul,Β and I have great hopes that there will be a shock this election," she said. "I can't imagine that he wouldn't win against Obama."
"Ron Paul is for liberty and freedom, going back to our constitutional ways, bringing back what our forefathers saw for our future in this country: freedom and liberty, the rights of an individual, the bill of rights," she said.
Highland Lakes Polling Location: Mary Dvyacky votes in every election. She thinks her candidate, Newt Gingrich,Β will win the Florida Republican primary and go on to become president. That is what made her vote for him in the first place. However, Dvyacky is not happy with the behavior of the candidates in the race.
"I think this entire primary has been seeped in mud and dirt and just very, very stressful to the population at large. β¦ It's taken me a very long time to come to the decision I reached," she said.
