I'm in Nebraska--the unemployment rate here is 3.9%. As far as the rest goes, if you're really talented and if you have connections, you can always find a job. If nothing else, he can go to work for my husband. I don't think he's too worried, and neither are we.

He's about as high information as it gets, and he thinks Romney is a complete dunce. I do too. I always have, and I've been pretty vocal about it from the beginning.

Your son sounds like an incredible young man. Some here seem to think that college kids just want hand outs and party and drink. What they fail to realize is that most aren't like that. My son just returned from a year in England studying international relations. He's a registered independent and very much involved in politics. He thinks Romney lacks intelligence and therefore would be controlled by the neocons

Oh, for G*d's sake! Here in "swing state" country, I've seen far worse that has been personally approved by Mitt Romney.

Someone who would stoop so low as to insult a poster's son has no cred as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, I sure have! "I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this ad". You'd be amazed at the dreck that goes out under that mantra.

No can do. They're all on TV. And who said I'm an Obama supporter?

Less intelligent and uninformed voters wouldn't get the dunce hat with the map symbolism, so you can throw your theory right out the window.
And you just proved my point..
