Read unions.

They gave up on that after National polls and there own polling showed it failing.
"The rhetoric from President Barack Obama and Planned Parenthood over a supposed “War on Women” apparently hasn’t had its intended affect of causing women voters to distrust Mitt Romney. In fact, new polling data reveals Romney experiencing an uptick with his support among women.
The ABC News/Washington Post poll shows a sharp increase in his standing with women has boosted Mitt Romney to his highest favorability rating of the presidential campaign while Obama’s favorability has slipped. According to an ABC News report on the poll:"

It is funny. A substantial portion of money spent on polling in campaigns is spent on focus grouping and trial balloons. Right now Obama hasn't been able to come up with shit to make him shine past Romney's numbers.
Obama does have a few aces up his sleeve like his recent vacating the 1994 Welfare reform law work requirement and illegal immigrant ICE enforcement. He'll promise to forgive or relieve in some way student loans to motivate the young voters. also look for a promise in his second term to forgive in some way mortgages in foreclosure or something.
Anyway here is where we stand today after record spending on Obama's campaign, especially at this stage of the campaign, according to Rasmussen.
"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Mitt Romney attracting 46% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from 43%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) more are undecided."http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll
Not much bang for the buck there.
Which group do you belong to anyway? I bet you fancy yourself the level headed, down the middle, issue by issue, independently, open minded liberal who doesn't think he is a liberal type and therefore smarter than most Obama supporter.
