18. Even with the primary Romney, I have only seen TWO Romney stickers in the South Puget Sounds.

Two. Two. Two. Obama stickers in my Republican leaning town? Too many to count. More than last election. The media and Karl Rove, Koch Brothers, and US Chamber, are trying SO hard to convince us that the angry old white men who permeate the comment boards on every news site ARE going to win this for Romney.. but the poll numbers don't add up. You can spend a billion or more (which Crossroads et al are going to do) trying to market Romney, you can try to hide him from average folks and the media (which they're doing,) but at some point SOMEONE has to actually LIKE the guy. And they don't. Every single nasty thing I see written on the internet about the election is bashing President Obama... NEVER praising Romney. And the haters are vocal, and they are sitting around online on the news sites, spewing their stuff. But Still no one actually LIKES Romney. He is unlikable. He is the epitome of the rich bully archetype.

I can only hope that the debates will explose him for the dolt he truly is. The guy lives off his investments... running for Prez seems to be a hobby.
