Republican conventions start today.
Remember, the three main events influencing voter decision in American elections are the VP choice, conventions and the debates. _________________ What looks like a cat, flies like a bat, brays like a donkey, and plays like a monkey? |

FL went from leaning Dem to leaning Rep overnight. It has only now gone to neutral. Seems more like the trend is continuing in Romney's favor, despite the bounce. _________________ lolgov. 'cause where we're going, you don't have civil liberties.

Last time Obama conned the naive, ignorant life-noobs. This time he's trying to con women, but they're not as naive and ignorant as Democrats think. _________________ Oldthinkers unbellyfeel INGSOC.

That will be hilarious if Obama gets re-elected but Republicans have the majority in both houses of Congress. By the end of eight years, Obama's approval ratings will be about 30%. _________________ Oldthinkers unbellyfeel INGSOC.

False. Look at the graph.. In fact, just today, he slipped back into negative territory, with more people disapproving than approving. _________________ Oldthinkers unbellyfeel INGSOC.

electoral-vote.com doesn't to be fair anymore. The dude is coming up with figures to show that the Democrats are leading. He's brought some new tool. _________________ What looks like a cat, flies like a bat, brays like a donkey, and plays like a monkey? |
