( CNN ) -- If there was a predominant reaction to this voter 's indecision , shared in `` Young , Female and Undecided '' on CNN two weeks ago , it was incredulity . `` The candidates have spent billions , '' I was told . `` Their TV ads have replaced normal programming . This campaign has been longer than a life sentence . How can you still be undecided ? '' To clarify , my indecision did not stem from an unrequited love for either candidate . I just could not bring myself to support either of these guys . A vote for Obama makes me a crazy , government-expanding liberal . I vote for Romney and I 'm a crazy , masochistic female . The truth is that voting for a candidate does n't mean you stand united on every issue . This is not Build-a-Bear . I can not create my own candidate , taking the best features from each then add a glowing heart and a soft , plush , huggable exterior . Nevertheless , I have made a choice . I 'm young , female and decided . Drumroll , please ... I 'm voting for Mitt Romney . `` Well , duh , your dad 's a Republican strategist . '' My father Alex Castellanos ' affiliation has not affected my decision . Although I respect his `` suggestions , '' my choices are my own , as even he would tell you . What has resolved this contest for me ? Was it the cantankerous candidates in the last debate , fighting to fight for the safety of our great nation ? No . Personally , I found the last debate tremendously boring , except for President Obama 's `` bayonets '' comment . Ultimately , my decision came down to this : I could not rehire Bobby Valentine . Valentine , manager of the Boston Red Sox this past year , was fired after a horrible season . His team 's poor record was n't entirely Bobby 's fault . In fact , Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said , `` Bobby was dealt a difficult hand . '' No doubt Valentine inherited a lot of problems . But looking ahead , there was no reason for Sox fans to hope that next season Valentine would lead his team differently or deliver a better record . Obama inherited a lot of problems , too . In his defense , our expectations for hope and change were too high . Unless he Midas-touched his way through the White House , Obama was destined to disappoint us . But manager Obama has not achieved the goals he led us to believe he would . He has not turned his team around . You do n't keep a failing manager when there is an acceptable alternative . It 's time for a replacement . I am hoping , praying , that should he be elected , Romney 's experience will lead to a positive shift in the economy and an increase in job creation . I still disagree with the governor on women 's rights . Should he become president , I 'm going to rely on the power of the American people to protect women from those who would set the clock back . The Cujo-like , growling TV ads attacking Romney on women 's rights are cut and choreographed to make him seem appalling . Romney might not have closed the gender-gap entirely , but at least some women suspect those ads are unrealistic , more bark than bite . An ad in which Romney says , `` I would overturn Roe v. Wade '' does not include what follows , the governor stating , `` But that 's not where we are . That 's not where America is today . '' If Romney is elected , abortion is not going to become illegal . We will not have a government official holding our hands during our annual doctor 's visit . Similarly , I know Romney is against same-sex marriage . One day , I expect to tell my own children there was a time where gay people could not get married , just like my parents told me of a time I could not understand , when African-Americans were not presidents but confined to the back of the bus . Some of the progress we 've made and injustices we 've overcome will not be reversed , no matter who is president . `` That 's not where America is today . '' Romney wo n't be able to change everything . But what if he could change the economy ? `` You can stick with what 's barely working or take a chance with [ Romney ] , '' said Jay Pharaoh , imitating the president on `` SNL . '' We 've had a losing streak , so I 'm taking a chance . Because four years from now , if President Obama is finishing his last months in office and we 're deeper in debt , still praying for a winning jobs report , I 'll know I got just what I expected . The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Cat Castellanos .
Laura Castellanos had been torn over which candidate to support . She says her decision to vote for Romney is based on the weak economic situation . Obama should be held accountable the way Red Sox 's Valentine was , she says . Note : Romney 's stance on social issues such as abortion will not change that .
