What will Romney do after he loses the election?

I predict he will start a new company. He won't have any future in politics or even political consulting, no one will want him to work on their campaigns or associate themselves with him.

he will continue to earn tens of millions of dollars and leave the public sector forever.

No one is interested in what he has to say, and Fox hated him from the start.
And his boring wife is of no interest in the media either.

A new national poll released on the eve of the first presidential debate shows that the race between President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney remains close.

Wed Oct 3, 2012, 12:09 PM

That the polls are tightening.

Nate's prediction as of today for Nov 6:
Obama - 318.6 electoral votes
Romney - 219. 4
Chance of winning
Obama - 84.7%
Romney - 15.3%
Popular vote
Obama - 51.4%
Romney - 47.5%

His Nowcast
Obama - 333.3 electoral votes
Romney - 204.7
Chance of winning
Obama - 97.3%
Romney - 2.7%
Popular vote
Obama - 51.9%
Romney - 46.7%

Electoralvote.com
Obama - 332 electoral votes
Romney - 191
And that includes the Rasmussen(Faux Noise) factor.

So, the race is tightening exactly how?

And it looks like we'll be getting some pickups in the Senate as well.

Not to say that anyone here is complacent - We're not.

95% of us DU'ers are, as the expression goes - "Fired up and ready to go!" And the other 5% are ready to go, I hope.
