Not much on brainpower though.......Big heart,but misplaced...Small,VERY small mind.....

and they appear to be quite motivated -- whipped up into a frenzy by Fox and talk radio.

I am thinking of states like Indiana and N. Carolina, both of which Obama narrowly won last time. And I think some of the anti-Obama sentiment is actually quite soft. Most people like Obama and most people dislike Romney. In a close race this could come into play.

with encouraging members to vote for Obama this time around because of his support of gay marriage. But I'm hopeful that the revelation of Romney's craven attitude regarding the "47%" may change some minds back to supporting the President.

NC is still in play.

I have yet to see a Romney/Ryan yard sign or bumpersticker and I'm in a very red state.

That's what I find most prevalent here in Texas. They are not going to vote FOR Romney; they are going to vote AGAINST Obama.

While I like that Mitt is constantly sticking his foot into his own ass, I will be cautiously optimistic until the day after the election.

I can't think of a presidential election in my lifetime where voting against an incumbent was enough. Even the 1980 election was very close until the debates at which point a significant number of voters decided they could vote for Reagan.

will vote for Romney but I am not convinced it will be enough motivation to get a significant number of them to the polls in the first place.

It's been my opinion for a while now we're seeing 1996 play out again, with Johnson playing the role of Perot.

As soon as the right believes he isn't going to win his numbers will tank.

All I've been hearing from the right is "well, Obama said a lot of mean things too when he thought nobody was listening." or words to that effect. They don't hear what Romney said. Instead, they make excuses for him or play the "both side do it" card. Some people are so far brain washed that nothing will sway them anymore.

To be honest my fear is that Obama voters get too complacent and stay home. We can't afford that with all the Republican dirty tricks. IT IS NOT OVER.

No one likes Romney.

And more people actually find Obama likable than they ever did Bush.

Another way of saying you can't beat somebody with nobody. People really hated Bush in 2004 but not enough people liked Kerry to defeat Bush. I would maintain that the actual hate of Bush was higher in 2004 than the hate for Obama this year. In fact, a large majority of voters like Obama more than they like Romney. The haters are basically the hard core Republican base. That is it and it is not nearly enough.

I have managed to change the minds of at least three people I know of and I am hoping that I can make Romney look SO bad that some will just stay home.

Of course, my biggest ally in this is Romney himself.

Let's not get ahead ourselves.

Obama only has a 1-point lead in Gallup today.

Romney has actually gone UP over the past week.

We need to see whether these latest scandals have an effect before we assume he is out.
