These few people in Iowa are just the tip of a much larger group of people nationwide.
Or could it just be they don't like the other guy so they vote for romney instead, if they liked romney they would show it. Fact is they are just voting for Romney more than likely because they have no one else other than Obama.

Yup, my sister - a social worker in Wiscosnin - confided in me that she would not vote for Obama this time and would instead support Romney. She then swore me to secrecy because it just can't be known that she isn't voting for Obama. She's also the secretary for her county's chapter of the government union.

I have a large family and all of them live in Wisconsin. I have good reasons for saying that I'm pretty sure Wisconsin is not voting for Obama a second time.

For my part, I forgive these folks and thank them for having the humility and decency to realize they made a mistake. Nobody's perfect, but not everyone can recognize their own errors. These 13 people have done that.

Plus, I am sure they will be targeted and threatened by Obama's thugs. Agreeing to publicly state this apology probably puts their lives at risk.


B-b-but...

RWNJs hate apologies.

Don't they?

Wisconsin is also going red without a doubt.

The neighbors I have spoken with have been pretty clear they are staying low key beacause of all the thuggery that seems to surround Obama. Obama and his gang need a few lessons on how to fit into polite society.

I doubt RCP has figured this one into their equation yet:

Quote:
The Presidential race in Wisconsin is essentially tied in a new poll by Marquette Law School, with President Obama at 49% and Mitt Romney at 48%, consistent with gains Romney has made nationally since his first debate with Obama in Denver on Oct. 3.
That’s a marked change since Marquette’s last poll taken Sept. 27-30, in which Obama led by 11 points.
The Senate race is also virtually even in Marquette’s poll, with Republican Tommy Thompson at 46% and Democrat Tammy Baldwin at 45%.

By the way, the Marquette poll uses a D+3 model. The actual turnout in 2010 was R+1, so I think a D+1 or a D+2 is more reasonable. Either D+1 D+2 would result in a poll showing Romney leading in Wisconsin.

Hopefully you're not one of those people.
I am sure those 13 in Iowa will determine the election.
