Personally I think Romney does better when you don't look at his ever-shifting positions on the issues. Be that as it may, the fact remains that Obama is still a better than 2:1 favorite and I don't see much changing between now and Nov. 6.
Economic news out today is a minor plus for Obama, with GDP growth coming in at a better than expected 2%. Economists say that it would be close to 2.5% but for the midwest drought, and if the idiots in Congress would quit their sniveling and do something about the fiscal cliff it would probably be at a pretty healthy 3-3.5% growth.
2%, driven in large part by a 9% increase in government spending.
Besides the fact that 2% annual growth sucks, growth driven by government spending sucks even more.
