>>>The trend towards Romney has slowed but is still moving. If Obama cannot stop it, election day may be a rout.

>>Maybe I am just biased but I am seeing the momentum swing back the other way. After the debacle in the first debate, the last two debates have been very strong for Obama. He has seemed Presidential while Romney has at times come across as a kid trying on Dad's clothes. Which in a sense he is. How have some people come to view being governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2006 and being president of the U.S. the past four years as equivalent experiences?

>>Among Romney's more ludicrous statements:
>>
>>1. "On day one I am going to accuse China of currency manipulation."
>>
>>2. "I am going to create 12 million new jobs and I know how to do it."

>I am keeping a detailed list of things that Romeny said he will do on day one when he becomes president. He is going to be so busy! Of course the first thing he will have to do is declare himself dictator, abolish the Senate, Congress, Supreme Court, and declare Martial Law.

>Should Romney win election no one can say that he made a promise before the election that he did not keep. He has taken both sides of all issues, so we should expect whatever is possible.
>
>What we need is Jimmy Carter checking all election places throughout the country to be sure that noting improper is occurring. He has put his stamp on the elections of other nations, why not ours?
>
>Somehow I think that there is no need to vote, as Wall Street has already decided who should be president.

>I like the story about LBJ when he first ran for political office in Texas. The man he ran against was an old time Texas politician. The old timer won, and it turned out that many that “voted for him” died years before the election. The next time LBJ ran (against the same man in fact) LBJ said, “I made sure that I had more dead voters than my opponent”! So LBJ won. :)
Coke Stevenson. The two elections between him and LBJ comprise a good part of the second volume of Robert Caro's unbelievably good LBJ bio.
