    Mitt is the ultimate flip flopper. If you don't like what he said today, do not despair. He will say the very opposite in a few days.

    He's realizing more and more the auto bailout will give Obama the presidency.

    If Romney wins, you are in for a gigantic disappointment. I guess the fantasy of running the federal government like a business is still alive. Can't imagine why.

    Romney will be the best president this country has seen since Reagan.

    I just wish he had an actual plan to do those. Instead he has some general statements about it but is forgoing the plan.

    We've had four years to witness what a failure Obama's plan has been.

    yes we have. That's why I'm voting for Romney, and he'll win all 50 states, and 100% of the popular vote. Everyone LOVES Mitt Romney!!!

    Rasmussen: Romney 261, Obama 253
    3:14 PM, OCT 24, 2012

    State-by-state polling by Rasmussen Reports now shows Mitt Romney narrowly leading President Obama in the projected tally of electoral votes — 261 to 253. Of the nine key swing states, Rasmussen’s polling (all conducted during the past week except for in Pennsylvania) shows Romney ahead in Florida (by 5 percentage points), Virginia (by 3 points), Colorado (by 4 points), and New Hampshire (by 2 points). It shows Obama ahead in Pennsylvania (by 5 points), Wisconsin (by 2 points), and Nevada (by 2 points). It shows Ohio and Iowa tied.

    This election will come down to Ohio and neither candidate can win without it.

    the question is not whether Romney can get 270, but whether Obama can hold 270.

    he should hope his firewall is more fireproof than Chris Stevens'.

    Every movement has an elite, no matter their goals or their aims. There is an order and hierarchy to all things, after all, unless you're willing to actually tell me that all men are created equal or something ridiculous like that.

    The only way Romney is in the WH is on a guided tour.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasmussen_Reports

    TIME has described Rasmussen Reports as a "conservative-leaning polling group".[69] According to Charles Franklin, a University of Wisconsin political scientist who co-developed Pollster.com,[70] “He [Rasmussen] polls less favorably for Democrats, and that’s why he’s become a lightning rod." Franklin also said: "It’s clear that his results are typically more Republican than the other person’s results.”[53]

    The Center For Public Integrity listed "Scott Rasmussen Inc" as a paid consultant for the 2004 George W. Bush campaign.[71] The Washington Post reported that the 2004 Bush reelection campaign had used a feature on the Rasmussen Reports website that allowed customers to program their own polls, and that Rasmussen asserted that he had not written any of the questions nor assisted Republicans.[51]

    Rasmussen has received criticism over the wording in its polls.[72][73] Asking a polling question with different wording can affect the results of the poll;[74] the commentators in question allege that the questions Rasmussen ask in polls are skewed in order to favor a specific response. For instance, when Rasmussen polled whether Republican voters thought Rush Limbaugh was the leader of their party, the specific question they asked was: "Agree or Disagree: 'Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party -- he says jump and they say how high.'"[73]

    Talking Points Memo has questioned the methodology of Rasmussen's Presidential Approval Index.[41]

    In March 2012, Media Matters for America criticized Rasmussen Reports for portraying itself as politically independent while headlining two Republican fundraising events.[75]

    You're full of hyperbole just like everyone else. It's an infectious disease every 4 years about this time. For you apparently, it's honeymoon time with Mitt a full 2 weeks before the vote.
