isn't as strong as it should be for Obama. 'Oh it's the MSM' but there have been polls by PPP which is traditionally democratic this week that show tightening races in states like Iowa and New Mexico. I think Obama will win but we are deluding ourselves if we think he will win easily. He won't. The economy and jobs are the #1 issue and voters tend to take it out on the incumbent. Hopefully there will be enough voters out there who know what the GOP has done to hurt the economy and Obama's programs.
