I am so worried about this election. Rumor has it Romney will spend one half billion dollars in the last few weeks with a blitz of negative advertising. And they have it refined to the enth degree. They know exactly who will respond to what from millions spent in poll testing. Romney will be very thorough and methodical at taking our rights away from us. Romney is the perfect Orwellian conduit. I remember back how the right wing beat Kerry with the Swiftboat ads and bashing gays in Ohio. I don't trust the American voter looking back at the election of Nixon, Reagan and the Bush's. What many don't think about, is that Romney is a competent robot. He will turn this country into a plutocracy with the same competency and ruthlessness he showed stealing people's pensions when he took over companies. He will exercise complete control of the country and do everything in the back rooms showing us nothing and turning us into the souless image of the right wing/Randian values. And he will be very aggressive militarily, greatly raising the possibility of war with Russia or China. And we know Putin is nuts. Scary.

With voter suppression in PA & OH, these polls are useless. I suspect a significant number of these LV for Obama will be disenfranchised when they show up to vote. Why is it that we call ourselves democratic and then keep treating those whose ancestors were treated as slaves as those who still do not have a right to vote. Looks like we need a Tahrir square in DC. Not just by the White folks as we see with the Tea Party but by those who can truly be regarded as a Rainbow.
