Does it make you a little nervous for the future of your party that your candidate is losing in the polls to an incumbent with an 8.1% unemployment rate? The GOP might want to consider packing it in and calling it a day if you cannot beat this President. That's analogous to losing a football game in which you were favored by two touchdowns. Pretty sad that Romney is having so much trouble.

The Dems had a similar fate in 2000, when Al Gore lost despite Clinton's outstanding economy. Of course, there was the whole chad counting scandal and all... but still, that election should have never been close.

Anyway, your candidate really needs to step up his game. It's rather pathetic if he loses, honestly.

Nope. I am embarrassed of our media and hollywood though. The truth of the matter is that Obama getting endorsed daily by the media and Hollywood, he should be up 20 points. It is the media who decide the narrative. The narrative they chose to push is its not Obama's fault and gee, those others guys are worse. Its nonsense.

Romney could run a perfect campaign, and while that would help his number a little more, it still would not compete with having the media and Hollywood telling people how great Obama is and how it is someone elses fault and not his.

I am embarrassed for America that it has become such a stupid country that it cannot recognize the fact that it is being fed propaganda by the media....

^ That.

But then again, a LARGE percentage of the population is a product of the public education system. That explains A LOT.

The only poll that matters comes in November. The MSM can put out all the nonsense weighted polls they want. None of it matters. They are trying the old it's not even worth voting because Obama won just like they tried to do when Kerry was running on election day. Same pathetic playbook.

This is what I'm way more embarrassed for. You should be too. It's got nothing to do with Romney. It's people still thinking Obama is their savior.

That shows how powerful the state owned and run media is..... also the power of lies

Romney is not really a good candidate, but Obama is bad too

I don't care about either party - dislike both - but this makes me nervous for the future of my country.
