I would do what you've done, I would try to find out where she got her information regarding Obama and discredit THAT (send her to factcheck.org if she's the type who would actually check into her sources)... If she's a reader I would send her this: http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/UploadedPDF/411750_updated_candidates_summary.pdf it discusses the tax impacts of the two candidates tax plans, and the fact that Obama's is going to be better for poor and middle income (those earning less than $250,000 for families or $200,000 for singles)...
Those are the things I'd start with, but they require her being willing to do some reading and research, and it sounds like she's pretty happy to believe the BS being handed to her by bad sources, so..
My cousin told me yesterday that she is reconsidering her vote. Hooray! I told her I was stoked to hear that she is at least rethinking period! She said that the more she looks into the facts, the more she finds herself agreeing with Obama. She admitted that she was trying to convince herself to NOT like Obama from the start, but that she may be changing her mind. I actually feel better now. I guess I care a little too much sometimes...
