Romney reveals October fundraising totals

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/15/romney-raises-170-million-to-finance-final-push/?hp

'...... Obama ...millions of small donors.

Those donors have flooded Mr. Obama’s campaign with a steady stream of donations with little investment of the president’s time and energy, allowing him to focus more heavily on retail campaigning in recent months.'

Obama way out-raised Romney. I hope Obama can double this in October.

And, Obama leads Romney by 2 in Reuters/Ipsos poll:

But, hey, it's hard to combat a steady stream of lies. Still, this time Obama will take the gloves off.

I peeked at your profile and see you belonged to one of the steelworkers' unions. There won't be any unions if Romney gets elected.

That you donated. So did I. I think a lot of the post-debate temporary polling issue is due to lousy media coverage of the debate and a barrage of rove/reed ads.

on network TV since the motel didn't carry MSNBC. After the debate I thought Obama missed a few opportunities but did OK. I went to sleep and didn't watch any of the commentary afterwords. Not until I turned my car XM radio to MSNBC and the Left the next morning did I hear how terrible it was. The damn Democrats threw Obama under the bus, that Tweety went nuts. Oh and how in the hell did that Alex Bennet get a show on the Left, what a jackass?. If Romney just came out and was a basket case Faux would still have claimed he won.
