And if Obama doesn't win, the TV ads here start with, "The first thing Romney would do, is sign the Alaskan pipeline into existence." So ching-ching for Texas. More likely he would sell off the northern states that are slogging half-heartedly through this economic pitfall. I'm in Ohio and it's pretty bad. Funny, it would be convenient that those same states are arguably more "blue" and "gay" as well. That's like double bonus time for Mittens (the best nickname ever, by the way.)J. E.

They're saying straight out that they don't like Romney, but they loathe Obama, and they're predicting that independents and moderates will hate him as much as they do. Let's just say I have my doubts. "At least he's not THAT guy" couldn't put John Kerry in the White House, and I don't think it'll work for Mittens. Right now, the election is still under a lot of people's radar, but I'm predicting a major nosedive after the debates.JD Rhoadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123361739160525998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13172818.post-82184830279617904292012-07-29T11:21:01.734-04:002012-07-29T11:21:01.734-04:00Dusty, in a weird way, it seems to me that Mitt...Dusty, in a weird way, it seems to me that Mitt's bigger problem is one of (non)personality. Paul Constant of Seattle's "The Stranger" wrote an op-ed piece about how nobody -- but NOBODY -- likes Romney. The American public will vote wholeheartedly for a scoundrel if he's likeable, obviously. But it's hard to vote for someone who is Mr. Roboto. People will vote not so much for Romney as against Obama. <br /><br />Anyway, here's the link to Paul's piece, if you're at all interested (and if I'm allowed to post links; otherwise you can just look it up if you want). http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/the-man-without-qualities/Content?oid=14272267Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15073658261122703742noreply@blogger.com
