but not fatal. That said I can't take every good poll for Obama as the gospel and discount every poll that shows Romney doing well. I think Florida is a real ? mark this year, and assume Romney will get a boost from having the convention there, too. Florida was pretty hard hit by the recession and still has high unemployment. I think Obama can win it but it will be difficult.

The Corporate Media, aided by these biased polls, need to keep this race very close. Liberal_Stalwart71 May 2012 #11
