Yikes, a BIG lie from a union organizer .......say it ain't so.
LOL, when I saw earlier today that three former Bain people were going to speak at the DNC I thought "oh oh, this could be bad for Romney". But as it turns out, I guess it's just three people who "allegedly" worked at Bain portfolio companies. Of course you can always cherry pick some disgruntled workers, probably even from successes. I just hope it backfires and hope America can see through a very transparent attack.

Not sure that necessarily indicates any shenanigans. A disillusioned Obama supporter certainly could join Romney's campaign. The definitely happened with some Repubs in 2008 for Obama.

If you're talking about the Citizen's United movie then, yeah, cherry-picked testimonies is just gutter politics.

How about I let the NY Times explain it to you.

http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/campaign-finance

17% of money spent on Romney's behalf is from PACs. Also worth noting is that Obama should probably stop crying about being "outspent."

Bam has gone dark in MI as well. Is he "giving up?" :rolleyes:

I guess if you throw out the 3 polls with the smallest MOE clearly indicating it's a toss-up, and add a few points to Obama....

Many reasons, they just haven't purchased new ads and probably won't tip their plans to (among other reasons).

Michigan doesn't have early voting is probably another big determinant. They can hold off to see how debates are going before determining how much they want to spend there.

Just a couple of nuances to consider before you ruin another pair of underwear every time your inbox chimes predicting an Obama victory.

Well said. No one "pulls out" of a state unless they start shutting down offices.

And it was really about the SuperPac pulling out, not Romney. It's likely the SuperPac is starting to run low on money, having carried most of Romney's ads the past few months, and is focusing its remaining resources where people are voting early. PA doesn't have early voting, either.

Biden is awful. I said before, this is the great strawman campaign. Biden actually said "so women can take back control of their bodies". Ummm, when did they lose control of their bodies?

They've actually got people cheering their made-up Repub agenda that they oppose.

And RNC or DNC, these fools that are all fired-up over rhetoric - can we get Ogre to shout them down with "NERDS NERDS NERDS"?

Apparently while Obama was Prez. It is truly shocking how far off the mainstream the DEMs have gone, it isn't even left-wing. It is just plain stupid.

If you believe that you are the archetypical DEM. At any rate does Biden not understand English uses of tense? No because he's an idiot and he's Joe Biden who has a completely fictitious job. We have elected a Pres/VP with a VP who would never be President. If something were to incapacitate Obama tomorrow Biden would have to reappoint a successor. The U.S. would riot before he was President because even DEMs know he's a complete moron.

But vote for him again, 4 more years of misery might be good for us.
