Rmoney and his supporters still have tons of money to spend, and we still have the debates to get through before the GE. I'm as happy as any of us, but we need to continue to send money and/or volunteer to ensure that President Obama is re-elected. We also need to focus on Senate and House races.

I don't see where selecting Ryan has been any help to Romney.
The GOP has tons of dough to help spread their manure.
I think the debates will sink Romney.
I think Obama will have coattails, which will help the Dems.
Dems must take nothing for granted.

Anything can happen, though. Bob Woodward's book that says negative things about Obama is coming out, and it'll be covered on 60 Minutes and all the talk shows.

We do need to concentrate on giving Obama a Congress he can work with. I think we will hold on to the Senate, and I'm hoping we take back the House too although that's going to be a bit harder.

(154,021 posts)But polls in June really tell you little. Now they are more predictive.
And I expert a lot of dirty poo.

Of course, now I'll be accused of factory farming.
