The only real chance Obama has against Romney is if a third party candidate siphons votes from Romney. The folks who voted for third party will then be sanctimonious and tell us "well at least I voted my conviction" but they may never see another election in this country.
To quote Andrew Brietbart: They try to portray you in the worst possible light... and when I travel around the United States meeting people in the Tea Party who care -- black, white, gay, straight -- anyone that's willing to stand next to me to fight the progressive left, I will be in that bunker, and if you're not in that bunker 'cause you're not satisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you. You're on the other side.
In Vietnam we lost a lot of good pilots under a situation called target fixation. The fighter pilot would be so committed to a target on the ground, he would forget to pull up and actually fly the aircraft into the ground.
Pull up.
Thanks Ben. Well put.
