I am now seeing Gary Johnson ads here in Indiana. I am assuming that this will help Obama here,

by peeling off voters from Romney. Good news indeed. Maybe those evangelicals who are writing in "Jesus" will instead cast their votes for Johnson.

but we just had a bunch of pea sized hail here, not enough to cover the ground but enough to wake up the cats. That might be a message about voting for Jesus.

While pounding the pavement for Obama While it was a semi-blind list, I knocked on one door by accident that was a Romney supporter, and another was someone I used to work with, and an R (boo!). Anyway, even the Rombots were pleasant, but the Obama supporters were thrilled to see someone out for our President! Many people actually answered the door !!

10. I understand he made the ballot in all 50 states. Any votes for him are coming out of Romney's pool

So it will be interesting to see whether that takes away from Mourdock in the Senate race and helps Donnelly.

Things may get a bit complicated in Colorado, though: there, Johnson's been peeling off from both sides. In other states, though, it's definitely been hurting Romney for the most part....no wonder why the Goppers are so pissed at him.

wikipedia page today and I'd be surprised if he doesn't get 2-3% of the vote in Virginia. Combined with Johnson's 1% and that has to hurt Robme in Va. bigtime.
