Looks like great minds think alike - we were posting the information at about the same time.

Good points.
Obama's first 4 have not delivered enough positive results.

Romney has a long history in business and obviously knows more about the needs of business to succeed.


Romney won on the Libya issue.


Romney took failing businesses, fired half the employees, and outsourced jobs to China --- this is what you want to see him advocate for American business?

Romney was incorrect on what Obama said the next day. Go watch a video of it --- Obama did say "acts of terror"

Obama did well enough that Ohio will most likely stay in his favor until debate 3. And honestly if the debate 3 is a "draw" as most will expect now, it will be hard for Romney to crack that last few % I think in Ohio.

And I'm in 'crazy liberal california'. I've NEVER felt like anyone was 'taking my guns away'.

Oh, and his name is Obama. It's a shame people have to resort to schoolyard taunting to make a point.

I agree. I live in Florida and most of my neighbors are gun owners.

Simple facts. Romney cannot win without Michigan and Ohio. Tonight sealed the deal for Ohio and Michigan is already in the bag for Obama.

Glad you brought up a Frank Luntz poll....

If you never saw the Penn & Teller episode of "Bullsh*t" on Polls... I suggest you watch it. They serve Luntz a good one.

Pretty much shows how pollsters can ask questions in such a way to get whatever answer they want.

Not trying to discredit your poll posting, even though I think it's garbage. What I am really trying to do is discredit all polls.
