But crime fell elsewhere as well

Crime is still very high in the RATS strongholds of Detroit and New Orleans.
So clearly, crime didn't fall "everywhere as well".

He's number one in the polls and has been that way for a looong time. That just drives some of the single issue voters over the edge. ....LOL

If he wins and I think it will be him or Romney...Why is everyone so shook?

Unlike the current administration he will bring some badly needed competence,charisma and an ability to articulate consrtvative principles. He has bee brining people to their feet with his rousing speeches on the campaign trail...

He has gone out of his way to praise Alito..Roberts and Schalia...

I think the chaos on the border will offend his law and order sensibilities not to mention his concerns on national security and I would look for some real progress on that issue. I think he understands the base and this is a major priority and he won't have a tin ear about it like Jorge W.

I could go on but it's Sunday...the Bears are coming on and my apt is a mess......
