Anyone with any intelligence and sense can see what’s going on and this includes Independents. This race has not been ‘undecided’ for a while. The people that will tout this are in it only to try and convince the mythical undecideds to vote Obama, and the rest just parrot this as a good thing when confronted with the truth and logic to keep from looking stupid.
Independents already know who they’ll vote for; they’re either being coy or playing undecided because they like to be pandered to.
The only other reason is to try and demoralize republicans from voting, and I’ll be damned if this makes one iota of difference in my determination to vote against that stain on the Office of the President.
Romney already released a good statement today. He just needs to be on fire today at all his events to get even news coverage with this.
