but what about all the poor welfare peeps with bigscreen tvs? they must have been busy playing the playstation 3s
Or maybe the number of undecideds is at a low. Everyone knows how they'll vote, who will win, and whether any conflicts will be decided at either convention, as they used to be until around 1976.
Whoops! http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytime...ay-be-leading-indicator-of-convention-bounce/ I think he regrets writing that one.
Food for thought (from a yahoo article): What you're going to hear is 'we have done everything we could to right the ship, to make sure that we are headed towards recovery. We may not be there yet, but don't change course,'" says Ed Mills, financial policy analyst at FBR Capital Markets. '"If you change course, the people who get the benefit of this recovery are not going to be you, but it is going to be Mitt Romney's pals and the top one-percent."' And there lies the rhetoric that will pit the middle class against the 1%. Mills points out, it's about to go into overdrive at the DNC. The Democrats will praise President Obama's record by touting the Affordable Care Act, Dodd Frank financial reform, and the Consumer Financial Protection Agency as achievements. He says they'll hit particularly hard on the financial regulation component to create a tough stance on Wall Street, while promoting laws to protect Main Street. "It's going to be about a clear choice," says Mills. He predicts the tone will be, "we [the Democrats] are the choice of the middle class, Romney is the choice of business and the rich. And if you give him the keys, this is going to go back to the failed economic policies that brought us to the brink in the first place; it is Bush economics on steroids." http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/breakout/middle-class-vs-1-really-ugly-141135691.html

Obama was a rock star in 2008. Def Lepard or Poison, if you will, larger than life, talked in platitudes (Hope and Change ... so vague, but catchy), and filled an entire NFL stadium during thunderstorm season in Denver. Stadium rock for that time in America. Obama in 2012 has moved to smaller venues, unable to fill the stadiums anymore, while the realistic candidates (I'll call them grunge to Obama's hair band) Romney/Ryan continue to hammer away on the reality of Obama's policies. Grunge never really played to huge crowds, but it was real, and in small clubs, it spoke deeply to those listening. The hair band ideals of hot chicks, men wearing spandex and make-up, and big hair look goofy these days, at the time they were popular. They seemed really cool to people unable to look in a mirror and see how ridiculous they looked at that time. It's not really Obama's fault that he sucks so bad. It's just that much of his audience has moved on to reality, and the true devotees look out of step with the current social climate.
yes, romney is pearl jam interestingly enough, i believe bain owns ticketmaster, a subsidiary of clear channel
There is a philosophical difference between Romney and Obama regarding capitalism. Obama wouldn't be attacking Romney's work at Bain if they were the same thing. Kind of a shallow comparison, IMO. I like Romney as Candlebox. Trying to get out a message, joining in a movement, but still clinging to hair band roots and too much studio production.
