In all fairness to Ann Romney, she shouldn't be faulted for not being much of an asset to her presidential candidate husband. She didn't sign up for this when they got married. She's probably been a great wife to Mitt and mother to her children. But on the campaign trail, Ann is who she is: A lifelong person of privilege who can't relate to most of us. When you throw in someone like Michelle Obama on the other side who blows her away in almost every measure, OUCH! I like Ann Romney a lot more than Cindy McCain.
No siree bob. She doesn't get to play innocent housewife. She decided to be a vocal persona on the campaign trail, giving interviews and speeches, she is open to scrutiny just like everyone else.
You can just feel the condescension gushing through. She really doesn't even understand how it is possible to come down from her perch and relate with normal earthlings: "you people don't realize how lucky you are that someone like Mitt is spending his time and money to try to become the president of you little people. Shut up already! This stuff is hard!" Obviously harder than trying to figure out whether to pay your mortgage or feed the kids. Much harder.
Yeah, what a horrible thing for her to say. Next thing you know, she'll be saying that she's proud of her country for the first time in her life if Mitt's elected.
Romney pulls ahead! http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...ministration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll
If by ahead, you mean a statistical dead heat in one of the most flawed, Republican-leaning polls, in which Obama is actually ahead... Meanwhile, in a quick look at polls that take into account the 21st century--- National Journal 9/15 - 9/19 1055 LV 3.0 50 43 Obama +7 Pew Research/PSRAI 9/12 - 9/16 2268 LV 2.4 51 43 Obama +8 NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl 9/12 - 9/16 736 LV 3.6 50 45 Obama +5 lolwut
I thought this was pretty interesting from 538: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytime...ention-bounce-may-not-be-receding/#more-34814 By and large, the story that Thursday’s polls told was the same one as on Wednesday. Mr. Obama continues to get very strong results in state polls that use industry-standard methodology, meaning that they use live interviews and place calls to mobile phones along with landlines. In the 10 states that have generally been ranked the highest on our tipping-point list — Ohio, Virginia, Florida, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Michigan — there have been 21 such polls since the Democratic convention ended. Mr. Obama has led in all 21 of these surveys — and usually by clear margins. On average, he has held a six-point lead in these surveys, and he has had close to 50 percent of the vote in them. Mr. Obama’s results have been more varied among polling firms that use different methodologies. A series of polls in eleven swing states, released on Thursday by the online firm YouGov, were fairly strong for Mr. Obama, putting him ahead among likely voters in all of the states except North Carolina. But automated polls, like those from the Rasmussen Reports, have had lukewarm results for Mr. Obama. A Rasmussen Reports poll released on Thursday, for instance, put Mr. Obama three points behind in Iowa Not sure if there's merit to the live vs automated / cell vs no-cell argument, but if there is, it could be signaling a near clean sweep of all the competitive states by Obama.

Romney doesn't even want to be President, he has no passion or conviction to serve. He's just running because rich guys need something to do and gaining power is his game. I can't even imagine his boredom with the gritty everyday grind or, bearing the endless barrage of second guessing and jokes he would absolutely face.
A Vigorous Man He has reserves of strength, The ability to meet unexpected demands, No physical impairments, The next President of the United States. Slow, resting, regular heart rate. Appears years younger than his age, Intensive exercise with regular running, Close observation of the prostate, Leadership skills. He is a vigorous man. -Words by Dr. Ronald D.

absolutely right. i've been trying to tell everyone this for days. i can see it in his body language, he wants to quit. he wants to run away and hide. he does not want to have a debate with obama, he is scared ****less. can't wait.
"Laugh out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out loud?"
more like laught ooooooooooooooooooout loud, my typical reaction when texxx insists on his Rasmussen poll, even when every other poll on the planet gives Obama a leap this week, plus he overread the Rasmussen part that says Obama leads one point with leaners included. texxx will be on suicide watch Nov. 6th, Obama's win will come as a shock to him.
