In reply to the discussion: If Mitt is such a poor candidate, why does everyone that counts say it will be a very close election [View all]DonCoquixote

half of whioch was hampered by the Democratic congress, aka DINOS. Obama did change in that he did stop the rush to kill programs like social security and medicare that would be dead as doornails under McCain. He did invest in a company like GM, saving it from being sold to the Chinese.
But also, let's not forget, Mitt is the candidate, but he is NOT the one people are voting to control the country, that battle was won in 2010, where congress, using Grover Norquist, openly says "we are NOT looking for a leader, just a pen." I did a whole thread on that, and many were surprised to see the GOP act that brazen.

Only the polls are close, but the electoral map is leaning HEAVILY in favor of Obama.

For many people, it will be a vote against Obama, not a vote for Romney.

There has to be the illusion of a close race, for the election theft to go unchallenged. nt
