37. Romney's doing better than I expected...

...and it's worrying me. He IS rude, no doubt. But when he is talking about his policies he sounds forceful and convincing, especially for those who do not know the details and who do not realize that he has not supplied any of those details. Most people do not think that the 1% are trying to steal everything and set up a caste system in this country... they just don't get it.

OMG Romney just used the "you're not entitled to your own facts" line.
