I live in a town (pop. 115,000) with a Mormon World Headquarters (RLDS), and I haven't seen a dozen Romney signs.

I can tell she thinks Romney is a creep. She won't vote for Obama but she's not enthusiastic about Romney.

Screw this. Homeboy's gonna hit 347 or up in EV.

I can not WAIT for the evisceration of the media when the race is over. We are gonna tear a hole in them when it's all said and done. What they've been doing pushing false narrative against this president is going to backfire hard.

...in that crowd.

Wow, go good to see real pics. I have a feeling that Obama sent that tweet to counter the bogus number reported by print media.

Crazy that the media would lie like that.
