During the primary season, a curious thing developed...

Every time Rmoney visited a state to campaign, his local "likeability" numbers seemed to drop. It was like the more people saw of him and got to know of him, the less they liked him. It was one reason IMHO why the primaries lasted so long.....that and the presence of billionaires willing to spend money on their pet candidates like they were grooming horses for the Belmont. But Rmoney does have a problem with his base, and a problem convincing people other than his own supporters that he's "their guy."

In any event, I think we may be seeing more of that on a national level. Beyond the Obamacare bump, Pres Obama has been advancing in most polls, and significantly in battleground states.

I hope it continues. I sent Obama a few bucks this week. I will try to continue in the future.

1. I can't decide whether he's really...

the best they got or there's a secret A-list waiting for '16.

Either way, he seems doomed. Some Dems might stay home because of silly disappointment with Obama, but the boredom with Romney should keep everyone else home.

2. My worries are states like PA

Who passed voter I.D. laws months before the election or Florida purging voter lists causing confusion close to the election.
Someone pointed out that Walmart take greater care insuring all transactions are recorded and preserved at the end of the day than most districts insure all votes were counted correctly.
