Well, they've gotten to my wife. [View all]

She's political, but not actively so, just the occasional health care post on her FB page. But listening to the morning blab-fests today, hearing the constant drumbeat for Mittens Momentum, she told me she's convinced the media is helping him, and he's got it in the bag. She said she has the same "bad feeling" she had during the Bush '04. Like, this guy can't possibly win, everyone hates him...but he won.

Bummer. She'll still vote Obama, but it helps if you're talking UP the good guy, which she'll be less likely to do if she thinks it's already a done deal for Mittens.
