Right on, Gus.

He looks a bit gloomy.

@2 I see whatchudidthere...

For the record, I am not now in, nor have I ever been to, Charlotte, Moreover, I haven't that Gus's willingness to suffer fools other than myself. Not to mention I'm very much better looking.

Funny to see what the lesser party is doing.

More Americans now (R) than (D):

I don't have time to research it right now, but my recollection is that Charlotte is a major banking center because North Carolina, like Delaware, has relatively lax banking laws allowing numerous practices (interest rates and fee structures, among other things) that disproportionately hurt low-income people.

I'd like to see Dems call out these practices during the convention, and I'd like to see conservatives who scoff at such concerns come out in favor of basic financial education in public schools.

obama's occupation of afghanistan is better than shrub's because he got congress to double military expenditures on it and the other 9/11 wars. top that republicans!

#5 please stop citing Rasmussen polling data as any indication of what people are thinking. These hacks are calling landlines and getting senior citizens and shut ins to make up data that fits the fox news daily lessen plan. "To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel." yeah right, and just how do they salt in data from online sources with phone banking?
In order to maintain the illusion of a horse race, these data miners rack the numbers back in forth for breathless news anchors to recite. Don't buy this load of crap, the national mood of uneasiness doesn't translate into Red and Blue.

@5

Dude, give it up. There has never been a time in recent American history where there has been more Republicans than Democrats. Maybe back before the Great Depression, but even that is doubtful.

Rasmussen has been shown to be a GOP hack. None of the other pollsters have shown much of a Romney bounce from the convention. Every time you post a Rasmussen poll you look uninformed and desperate.

This race, as has been the case in most races where both candidates are well known, has been static since last December. Obama has been leading slightly and Romney is not well liked. The end of the GOP primary didn't change that, the VP pick didn't change that, the Republican convention didn't change that and the debates won't change that.

As long as Team Obama doesn't take a break, and as long as Democrats get involved and volunteer, Romney is going to lose.

please stop profiling weirdos who are doing visibility, Holding signs is the leotarded cousin of actual voter contact (phones and doors). Srsly, the only people you send out with signs are creeps that would be counterproductive to have actually speak with voters. tl;dr signs are dumb and so are the people who hold them.
