    This is a mid-August concession. Ryan does nothing to change the electoral math. At this point Romney knows he cannot win, and Ryan was the sucker willing to board a sunken ship.

    You don't get to tell me what I think. I spoke very clearly. Facts are facts.

    Irrelevant. Retirement benefits were supposed to be lifetime benefits.

    She lost her coverage under her husbands insurance benefits, which were not honored by Romney, who honored his own pocketbook instead.

    Irrelevant. Is that supposed to give him some kind of immunity? Bain Capital was Romney. He was the Chairman of the Board, the CEO, and the sole stockholder.

    Of course I can. I don't think you've been watching a representative sampling of media. Faux News doesn't give you the whole picture.

    I tend to agree. No serious presidential hopeful wanted to be the next McCain/Palin. It's like they dropped off the planet.

    Obama is going to out-smart, out-charm, and out-substance Romney in the debates . . . but Ryan will likely tear Biden into tiny bits.

    I'm glad Obama didn't murder the wives of any of the ten thousand or so GM Dealership employees he laid off after his regime took over GM. That makes him better than Romney, except for all the babies he supports the murder of.

    I'm also glad the Treasury department didn't conspire to strip retirement benefits away from non-union Delphi employees during the Government Motors take over.

    I agree with the latter, but not the former. Obama is a terrible debater, and there is no substance to anything he says. He speaks in ambiguous sound bites. He will win a close popular vote election in an electoral landslide, because his supports are in the right states.

    As terrible as Romney is, he is infinitely better than Obama.

    All politicians do this, but Obama is especially empty. Romney might answer a qustion in ten meaningless words. Obama would talk for twenty minutes, use a lot of positive sounding fluff, never address the question, then blame something on George Bush.

    Romney is cold and wooden, not particularly spontaneous, and he reminds people of a used car salesman. He will crash and burn in the debates.

    Romney will win the debates easily, but people will think he lost because Obama is cooler. And like isaid before, getting elected has nothing to do with policy, only likeability
