Ross Perot helped elect Clinton by dividing the Bush vote. Gary Johnson (Libertarian) is our Ross Perot this time around. Encourage your repub friends & family, we all have them , to vote for good ole' Gary instead of mittens.

It's not a vote for Obama, but it's a vote AGAINST mittens.

and running numbers and polling names. who could they get that would break the religious right from their unfortunate nominee? those people still like him, if nobody else does. i don't see how they can make this work. dems need to keep hammering no matter what. but they have shot their wad in mizz. when i heard mr. legit rape's apology ad, i knew it was over.
