Corporate America will probably be watching the polls more than any of us will
They've got lobbyists, they've got access to government panels, Fox News, etc.

But in just the past couple of years, some more things have changed.

They've got the "Citizens United" ruling.

They've got the Tea Party, their army of supporters saying that the wealthy and corporations provide for us and without them, then we would all surely starve or freeze to death (All while saying they plan to "go Galt" too)

Corporate America is no longer just an influence on the government, they are nothing short of a state within a state.

November will, and should be, a test to see how much of a state within a state they really are.

We need to remember this from now until election day, on the election, and after it as well.

1. Well, after all, they want to get what they pay for.
The first part is the votes they bought, then they monitor the politicians that they've bought.
