This weekend, I must confess to having had doubts about Romneys chances of winning. Repeated bad news about Ohio and Obamas post-Sandy bump left me hitting the Scotch and sticking pins in my Nate Silver voodoo doll. But on Sunday night's XFactor, the good Lord sent me a sign. All the acts had been voted through to next weeks round except for Kye Sones (talented singer/former chimney sweep) and Rylan Clark (tone deaf gay guy).

FU Hussein Heads!
I think the selling point, the keywords that a successful car salesman may use was how Romney countered Obamas “revenge” remarks.
That was probably the kicker to seal the deal.
Plus images of Obama being elsewhere while people are freezing to death on Staen Island. The lack of real leadership obviously shows. And Romney is way more patriotic.
Obamas litlle brain wave hypnosis machine just had its cord pulled. people are waking up and are going, “Huh?”
And the silent majority that cannot be counted has a deeper more solemn purpose than the other side that is fainting or too eager for the next Obama giveaway or chant.
