What a difference a day (and a couple polls) make

Just for fun, I clicked on HuffPo to see what kind of Romney fawning was going on today. Surprise, surprise - they're back to their Romney attack.

Front page is "OBEY" and the sign outside of Ryan's fundraiser telling entrants, no filming or recording.

Then on the politics page, huge headline "THANK YOU FOR SMOKING" and an ensuing article on how Bain made millions of dollars from cigarettes in Russia and China.

Not really damning information, but quite a departure from the previous day's front pages peeing down their leg over the new front runner Mitt Romney.

Stupid Huffpo. I hate them.

The moderators let the conservative comments stay and don't let many liberal ones in. My husband and I rarely post there anymore. I did last week and put a couple of short sane comments and the trolls attacked me mercifully. DU is my number 1 website to go to the news.

I didn't realize there were that many repugs hanging out on HuffPo. But I guess it's a nice, cozy place to go since all the articles are tailored more and more towards conservatives.

I barely go there but wanted to see if they were still pushing "Romney's gonna win" spin over there.
