In reply to the discussion: Nate Silver: Romney bounce not receding and making gains in swing states [View all]helpisontheway
(5,005 posts)49. I think Obama just cost us the
Election. All because he did not want to fight back. if Romney's numbers were temporary they would have dropped once the job numbers were added in. I kerp saying a few more days. i kept telling myself that maybe once that awful Friday drops off the trackers. But from the title it appears Romney is still polling high. I feel like crying but I know it will not do any good. Probably should take a break from DU for the weekend so I can stop worrying about something that I can't control.
