In looking at Nate Silver's latest map, I see that Iowa is "likely Dem."

Obama = 332
Nitt = 206

Sorry GOP. Obama is just really so much more popular than the empty suit Romney.

You might want to realize most people don't have a hundred million in their 401k and untold riches in the Cayman islands or 5 mansions. He just really is not a sympathetic candidate for those of us who are unemployed or under employed. That $7.25/hr without benefits just really doesn't go that far.

Remember a few months back their narrative was that no one was excited by the Obama Campaign, and he'd lost that 'sparkle.' You know.. that no one was interested in him. But every time I see a video or pic of the President, people are going crazy for him. Wonder if they're noticing or commenting on the fact that he still has "it."
