alaskadispatch.com Getting high with Mitt Romney: Could winning push come from Colorado legalization measure? Patrik Jonsson \| The Christian Science Monitor \| Nov 03, 2012 The Jewish vote, women, Hispanics, even the Scandinavian vote have all been pegged by prognosticators as key swing constituencies in Tuesday’s electoral showdown between President Obama and Mitt Romney. But what if it’s really pot smokers who decide the next US president, specifically psychedelia enthusiasts in the battleground state of Colorado (9 electoral votes) where pot legalization and dark horse candidate Gary Johnson are both on the ballot? Far out, right? Maybe not. Polls suggest that Colorado’s Amendment 64, which would legalize and regulate marijuana much like alcohol, may pass on Tuesday, so legalization will be foremost on the minds of voters in a state now in a statistical deadlock between Obama and Romney.

You can't imagine the feelings of those arrested after Obama came into office. There are some very very angry people. Myself included. This "non-issue" is only a "non-issue" in the minds of those running for office. I am eligible to be locked up in a mental institution, if I hire a hit man to kill me. THAT is EXACTLY what I'm doing if I vote for either of these jokers. I'm certifiable if I vote for either one.
