I put up.

Romney hasn't been vetted.
Obama has.
Obama is about to vet Romney over the next 2 months.

There are all sorts of things that have not been aired so far to Independent voters (all sorts of things that haven't been aired to GOP voters for that matter.)

Obama will also crucify Romney in the debates starting on 3rd October.
Obama is much smarter and a much better debater than Romney.
Romney has only empty rhetoric and is easily flustered.

Election analysis of what is GOING to happen.
