My local NC news just said Romney has spent twice as much $$ as Obama in NC & still

it is a dead heat here. The news even described it as a "troubling sign for Romney's campaign." This was one of the those News 14 Time Warner Cable 24 hour local news stations.

I was surprised. I know it's one of the battleground states---and went blue for Obama in 2008.

More of this after his "world tour".

And to think he's still got Poland to go too.

nor his Richie-Rich Yacht Club demeanor to be honest. I don't think his base is very fired up here.

We'll see how it plays out after his disastrous overseas trip, plus now he has this whole Doofus/Wimp persona thing going on.

seeking to poll me. i just told her you have the wrong person. after i hung up i thought of so many better, blistering comments i should have made. like aren't you embarrassed to be republican after what the bushies did to the country? and how about that candidate you're running for president? on and on.
i don't know if i would want to take their poll though. it's probably designed to keep respondents from giving their actual feelings and beliefs about what goes on.

I guess he's never heard of You Tube or followed what happened when Stupid tried to do that. There is always somebody with a cell phone to record the best gaffes and post them online.

He's wrong. Completely wrong.

Meg Whitman thought the same thing about the governorship in CA......she was wrong too.

MittTwitt needs all three to have a shot. If Obama takes just one, MittTwitt is done.
