I say you are 100% correct.

I admit I hate Obama, so it's hard for me to be fair. But if you compare Romney's resume right now, to what Obama's looked like in 2008? Please. In 2008, Obama had been a state senator who (1) voted "present" more than anyone else, and (2) acted in a way that allowed infanticide to be practiced. Then he spent 4 forgettable years in the US Senate where he did nothing of note, except to run for President. He has 2 things going for him, he's articulate, and he knows how to make people want to get out of his way because he's black.

McCain surged ahead of Obama in every poll after he picked Palin. McCain stayed ahead in every poll, until the economy collapsed.

I think Obama's going down. His polling numbers are nothing short of horrible for an incumbent at this stage. The best poll I've seen has it tied at 45-45, with 10% undecided. At this stage, the vast majority of undecideds do not usually swing for the incumbent.

I predict one of two things. Either Romney wins handily, or it all comes down to Ohio. Obama won FL, NC, and VA in 2008. He'll likely lose all 3 in November.

Romney was a governor, and he founded and ran Bain capital. That's a more impressive resume than "law professor, community organizer, do-nothing senator, author of biographies".

The libs are attacking Bain capital. Some venture capital firms can seem predatory, but try telling that to Sports Authority, which got funding from Bain to start-up. Sometimes the best answer is to shut a company down. Obama flushed a cool $500 million at a company that went belly-up, and he's complaining that Bain wasn't willing to flush every last cent down the toilet to keep some of these companies open for another year?

More evidence that liberals don't understand how business works. Think how clueless you have to be about all things economic to believe that wealth is (1) finite, or (2) bad.
