Republican conventions start today.
Remember, the three main events influencing voter decision in American elections are the VP choice, conventions and the debates. _________________ "Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated, until defeat has been accepted as a reality." -- Bruce Lee |

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. _________________ The First of April.

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. _________________

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%. _________________

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

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. _________________ "Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated, until defeat has been accepted as a reality." -- Bruce Lee |
