They might be stand up paddle boards, judging by the paddles to the right of them, but either way, that would have been a great shot. Not that Romney riding behind his wife on a jet-ski was not enough of a gift, but couldn't someone get a picture of a Romney--any Romney--windsurfing?!

in a state of bemusement, not smiling, not animated at all.

By contrast, Obama's people are all revved up, they are happy, smiling, they bring their babies.

I dunno. It just seems to me that there is no contest in this election...

Obama is treated with rock star status wherever he goes by everyone. People brave inclement weather to see him and he's cheered by young and old and people of all races. Romney attracts anemic rallies with white followers, unless they can buy a few minorities, and the turnout is as enthusiastic as if they were getting root canals. So, I keep getting puzzled by all these polls saying they're running neck-and-neck or closing in on each other. Romney has yet to bridge the enthusiasm gap with Republicans. If he were medicine, they'd only take him if he were the cure for a fast-acting snakebite venom and even then, they'd dump a lot of sugar in him to sweeten him up when they swallowed him.

The only thing he's got going for him is that he's not Obama. This is why it's so important to hammer home again and again what he actually IS, because what he is is someone who could run this country so far into capitalo-fascism that it'll not recover in many of our lifetimes. They don't want him. They want power. We have to stop that by turning every possible maybe into a yes for Obama.

I know, I'm Captian Obvious.

here at DU, after Obama last spoke in Florida. What a crowd! What excitement! (13,000 people attended) I posted that I questioned why the polls were showing the President and Nitt tied. It did not make sense then nor does it now. I had no choice but to conclude that my own two eyes were more trustworthy than those questionable polls.
