Then he would not have been painted into a corner by Aiken,Mourdock, and Sandy. Moderate Mitt might have been ahead right now if he had been moderate for the whole campaign.
Romney would never been able to get the Republican nomination running as a moderate.

It's not hysterics, it's simple math. They are not choosing to fail.

Remember 2010, nobody saw that much of a swing coming either, don't forget Scott Brown either. Time will tell, but I know of at least 3 small businesses that are planning to close up shop if Obama wins. I'm torn on selling my gold before Tuesday, as it will plummet in value if Romney wins, and continue to rise if Obama gets another 4. I hope if Romney does win, he will shut off the money presses post haste.
Time to read up on The Fed my friend. The president nor Congress tell The Fed what to do. The Fed tells the President and Congress what IT will do. Having a private central bank is a great idea, eh........

How come the Mules ain't democritters? They are first cousins to the Donks. Must be those dressage pony genes that Romney donated to the pool.

1) Buying gold is fool hardy, it is never a wise move.

2) Closing a business because you don't like black folk is hysterical. Hope more than these 3 close.

If they CHOOSE to close, just because they don't like an election outcome THEY ARE CHOOSING TO FAIlL! They are giving up, because they are weak minded. "Oooooo, I just can't do it....Ooooo, woe is me.......boo, hoo, hoo..........." SICKENING.

You know, there was a time when I actually thought you were intelligent.

I was wrong. I see that now.

Regards,
Dave

Well, since it's simple math, there's a chance you can handle it.

So, do it for us. Show us the "math" that makes your teabagger buddies want to run away and hide if the Kenyan Soci@list Muslim is re-elected.

Timing is everything. I have felt that in this campaign, that is devoid of any actual talk about policies, that the election would go to the candidate with the most momentum in the polls in the final days. It is sad to see an election decided by pollsters and pundits.

What else is sad is if Romney ends up winning all of our elections will be decided on lies and half truths in the future. If it is a winner than both parties will jump in wholeheartedly and run ads like Romney's JEEP ads. Everyone who has commented on the ads have called them bald face lies, but Romney refuses to pull them down.

I don't want him to pull the ads. I don't think the hard working men and women in the auto industry are as stupid as Rmoney thinks they are. He is exposing himself to be the liar that he is to Ohioans.

Who would have thought that the October surprise would be Sandy. Christie one week before the hurricane, at a Romney rally claimed Obama is a terrible leader and that he was desperately looking for a light switch in a dark room, but just can't seem to find it. One week later he was on Fox News praising Obama's great leadership in the wake of Sandy. Not good for Mittens.

The good jobs numbers that keep going up and have been for a long time. The unemployment rate went up a tenth of a percent to 7.9%. Believe it or not that is a positive sign indicating people who have given up looking for work are now getting back into job market and are looking for work again. Economic indicators moving steadily up is also not good for Mittens because it blows up his whole campaign strategy that things are getting worse in the country.

My prediction, Obama wins with 300 electoral college votes.
