LOL. Gosh, a girl is ahead of the curve and no one wants to believe her. Obama can phone it in from here on. Heck, he doesn't even need to advertise with Romney doing the ads for him!

Last fall when things first popped off, Robme was the GOP candidate that scared me the most. Just like many other political junkies, I thought he'd be the Republican candidate who'd snag more independents and moderate voters, plus he was the one candidate who was leading Obama in the polls. He was widely seen as the "moderate" out of the bunch. But after seeing him stumble right out of the gate this summer and doing his best to pander to the fringe, I'm starting to wonder if they would've been better off nominating some wingnut like the Pizza Man or Mr. Fake-Libertarian. At least with those two, there was genuine enthusiasm among their followers and they supported someone who shared their values. With Robme, all he has in his favor is that he's not Obama.

And he just keeps digging himself in deeper. Which is fine with me!

Glad you're here - we've got an election to win!





So get to work.

It is such a narrow electoral map for him that even if everything happens perfectly from now until the election for the republicans, romney could still very well lose. He

The only thing everything that he had going for him, his money advantage, has completely vanished. He is behind in every national poll, he is behind in almost every swing state, in same cases by considerable margins, his favorability ratings are in the shitter, and he is polling behind Obama in every issue. What does he have left?

I think the words "nearly impossible" describe his position now.
