Here is an interesting fact. A recent poll in Iowa shows Obama leading by 3% points. I know of NO McCain supporter who is voting for Obama. I know MANY Obama supporters from 2008 who are voting for Romeny.

The Iowa State Fair conducted a poll of 50,000 voters (50,000!). The results:

Romney 56%

Obama 44%


When the election is over, the only people who will be "shocked" will be liberals, as they believe the garbage that is being fed to them (that is why they are liberals in the first place).
