If he could have managed to not speak for the entire election cycle he had a shot. Outstanding hair.

It's clear that labor doesn't love Mittens.

Business owners approval rating of Obama falls to 35 percent, lowest of all occupations.

well, it breaks down in various ways. I think the issue with a federal election like this is that, thanks to recent supreme court decisions, there doesn't seem to be much of an incentive for super pacs to donate to politicians. (Given by Obama's Source of Funds: PAC Contributions $0 (0%))

This could also be because we're a certain number of days away from the election and there's no restrictions on ads for pacs right now. They may have restrictions within 60 days of elections, though that may be outdated thanks to Citizens United.

PAC donations may go up closer to the election, or they may stay at zero from now until the end of our country. (Well, doubtful, Rmoney already has almost a million in donations from PACs)

If you're interested in campaign money, I really suggest wandering around that website. It's extremely reputable and has loads of info on pretty much any candidate. (i.e. it can save any further "let me google that for you" type instances)

Inflation right now is like 2-2.5%

Are you a real person or just an elaborate level?

Holy crap. I just read that Mitt is going to reveal is VP choice via a smartphone app. I can't think of many worse ways to do it. It's basically a text message. Hooray for efficiency!

Yeah, I think he'll probably give a speech and hold a press's conference too bud. The app is just to get info and direct access to people's phones.

The app is just for tards to hand over their email address and stuff to the campaign. Once you call it by its correct name, "Hand Mitt Romney's Presidential campaign your personal details for future mail and text blasts", I think the app makes sense.

He's doing a good job of typing a lot of words and saying nothing but meaningless jingoistic placards.

nothing nothing FAMILY nothing nothing AMERICA nothing nothing HONOR nothing nothin OATHS nothing nothing PATRIOTISM.

See... that's why America has been prosperous. Any culture that isn't as properous clearly doesn't have families orientated like ours, they lack honor and oaths and patriotism.

Its not really a good cover for his gaffe because he's still saying the same thing.
