Romney is playing dirty pool with voter registration in Colorado.

Right now, I'm listening to the local progressive station, AM760, where caller after caller after caller was describing things such as:

Voter registration people at local shopping centers & such registering only Republican voters

People taking "polls", then handing voter registration forms only to people saying they'd vote for Romney.

People asking Democrats to re-register as unaffiliated.

This shit is illegal. The times I've worked in voter registration, the rules were clear - you do not ask people their affiliation, you register EVERYONE.

ACORN got shut down because they were accused of this shit (yes, I know, ACORN itself actually did nothing wrong - it was a bad individual who broke the rules, and ACORN caught him and took appropriate action - they got shut down anyways). The Romney campaign is doing this on an organizational level.

I play "drunken monk". I miss every shot at first, but cover all of the pockets. Then all it takes is one turn to drop everything including the eight. It's never failed me.
