Romney only leading Georgia by 8. Only 8.
Too close for Romney's comfort?
Obama's almost certainly not going to win Georgia, but if he's only trailing by single digits, then he's not doing too bad!

Romney says won't pursue new abortion laws
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/10/us-usa-campaign-romney-abortion-idUSBRE89901X20121010Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, in an apparent fresh move toward the political center, said on Tuesday if elected he would not pursue specific legislation targeting abortion.
"There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda," Romney told the Des Moines Register's editorial board during a campaign visit to Van Meter, Iowa.
Romney's comment could be construed as reassuring some women voters who have had reservations about his candidacy. In recent weeks he has taken some steps toward the political center as he tries to attract independent voters before the November 6 election.
Some conservatives would like legislation aimed at limiting abortions, which were legalized in the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.
