Family torn as election day nears

By Ginger Livingston | Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 06:43 PM

Terrencia Robinson of Washington, N.C., couldn’t believe she was standing outside Minges Colsieum early Tuesday evening.

Decked out with campaign buttons picturing Barack and Michelle Obama, the lifelong Democrat joined her adult daughter, Joy, in hopes of seeing Sarah Palin.

“I’ve been taking her to the polls since was was little and she does this to me,” Robinson said, cupping her daughter’s chin in her hand. “I raised a respectable young lady to have her own opinions and choices.”

Joy Robinson said she disagreed with many McCain policies but couldn’t miss a chance to see Palin.

“I just love her personality. Everyone disses me about it,” the Queen’s University student said.
