Based on deep analysis of people's attitudes polls seem to indicate that Romney could have a seizure on national television and go berserk and it still would not change the electorates' mind. Most people have already made up their mind and the campaign is fighting over a very narrow band of voters.
We are so divided and polarized by hatred of each other that it is not even funny anymore. I was listening to a conversation of one of our reps here in Colorado who lost in 2010. She was telling one of our Senators about a Republicanazi who came up to her on a public street and demanded that she move her car or else. He ordered her to move because she was not allowed to park where she was even though it was on a PUBLIC street. It was all because she had an Obama and Democratic bumper stickers on her car. Just say the name Obama or the word progressive to a Republican and they are likely to club you with a bat they are so mean and hateful. And now I really wonder if Lincoln was right about a "house divided". We are definitely a house divided.
We have a psychopathic GOP and an even more psychopathic soulless plastic uncaring GOP candidate who will really actually destroy this country. He has said in code that he will bomb Iran. And that will likely put us in direct confrontation with Russia. Besides that a Romney presidency will mean the murder of who knows how many Americans because the GOP will abolish the safety net everywhere in the country givens the power to do so.
So how do people of common sense and sanity and a sense of community protect themselves from a bunch of raging murderous schizos who plan to economically scorch everyone who is NOT a millionaire. That includes all the dumb asses who want to put them in charge?
We are more on a civil war footing every day as the incendiary rhetoric rises. When I see Romney he acts like fire is going to come out of his mouth. His tenor gets more hateful and mean every day.

(34,845 posts)Romney will lose because
1. Obama is Obama.
2. Even the GOP does not want him.
3. Tax returns.
4. There is no one managing the store at the GOP. (Palin and now Romney bear that out.)

(44,583 posts)The only voter demographic where Romney was standing nose-to-nose with Obama was with independents. But without his tax returns, Mitt cannot hope to get enough of independent votes to swing the election.
