    A long time ago Drudge had a first-mover advantage but he's irrelevant now. At this point, the only thing he's good for is reinforcing what a certain group of people want to believe.

    It's hard to imagine there was a time I went to his site almost every day. Now it's 2-3 times a year.

    The only reason anyone visits his site is to see what the masses are being fed.

    The crowd started booing right after he said "repeal Obamacare". Ryan thought they were booing him, because he then says "I had a feeling there would be mixed reactions."

    When seniors start booing the Republicans, you know the election is truly over. Those guys he's talking to are supposed to be his meal ticket, and they know he's lying to them.

    So sad the sixth grade level to which you've descended. I almost miss the three word posts linked to some stupid editorial.

    TJ, Bigtexxx, and Basso are flaming out. They know Romney is a cooked goose and are probably pretty depressed about it. And with the House and Senate looking bleaker by the day, it's gotta hurt.

    Gotta give Basso some credit for sticking around actually, I'm impressed. But the other two ran away - not surprisingly.

    Credit for what? Supporting a dead weight party devoid of intellectual parity to make the nation stronger and more inclusive?

    The sooner they die off, the sooner the republican party can rebuild with serious credibility.

    A one party monopoly on empirically same ideas is not a good thing

    After the election, it will be interesting to see how many Romney supporters just mysteriously stop spamming GOP talking points on various high traffic message boards.

    No link but I read an article earlier in the day, and the thing that most caught my attention was a Reuters/Ipso poll indicating Obama and Romney are tied for voters age 65 and older. That was an eye opener. If Mitt cannot even win that group of voters, he is done.

    "I don't believe we can get very far with leaders who write off half the nation as a bunch of victims, who think that they're not interested in taking responsibility for their own lives,"

    "I don't see a lot of victims in this crowd today. I see a lot of hard-working Virginians,"


    Obama said at a campaign rally in Woodbridge, Va.

    Ann:"Stop It. This Is Hard."

    That's what she said.

    Ann Romney-
    "It was very much my decision as well..." When talking about Mitt deciding to run for president.
    She said she made a video after the last presidential cycle telling Mitt "Never again!". Why would your wife make a video telling you how she feels about something?
    "After each question he will look to me like ""did I do ok Ann, was that ok?""
