27. I think we should take it seriously

Tue Oct 16, 2012, 04:02 PM

Oct 2012

Democratic Pollster Stan Greenberg even admits that Romney got a surge after the Presidential debate and that he even improved his standing with unmarried women voters.

We need to take the threat of Romney seriously and keep working hard.

And Obama needs to be on his game for the next 3 weeks.
