Obama will win but we will not regain Congress. They won't have the incentive to go against everything, compromises that we hate will be made, things will improve in the short term, worsen in the long and then comes 2016 and we do it all over again. We go further and further right.

I don't want you to burn your scalp for no reason!

Let the GOP have their moment at the mic. We are going to have a very vigorious debate about Medicare and SS this election.

Remember we (The Democratic Party) is THE party who passed MC and SS, NOT the Republican party. Republicans have NO credibility on this issue, they have hated both programs all along. The GOP have been trying to let them both "Die on the vine", so when President Obama extended the life of Medicare, that is why they went apeshit!

The GOP is lying and seniors know it. They have no intention on upholding Democratic legislation and Social Security AND Medicare are DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATION.

It just came out yesterday, and it also showed Obama doing fairly well with seniors - only a few points behind Romney.

So at least according to the CNN poll, Obama is not hurting in Florida.

We'll need to see polls by other polling firms, but it's a good start.
