Wait till Florida Romney. When "Snow White and the seven dwarfs" make it to Florida, and ask how is the economy is affecting you your life, your job, your family, your finances, your spending, that alone will get them run out of town on a rail. More Americans are seeing a significant rift between rich and poor people, with most people saying there is a strong or very strong conflict between those who are wealthy and those who are not. The strife between rich and poor people is now seen as a bigger issue than other social conflicts, including conflict between illegal immigrants and native-born Americans and tension between black and white Americans. In addition, people's perceptions of how the rich get rich have not changed much in recent years. As millions of Americans have struggled with high unemployment and other lingering effects of the recession, the nation's median household income has actually fallen slightly. The rich got richer and, well, you know the rest. These cafeteria style Constitutionalist that uses their political theories if and when it fits them and when it effects them alone, with a no waiting staff table service, in their private Patriot restaurant.

This is the oddest binary used to separate the electorate I have ever seen. Evangelical and "not Evangelical". So do they ask the people "are you an Evangelical Christian or not" or what exactly? The wording is important. The contours of Evangelicalism are ill defined.

If we are going to do religion of voters breakdown, lets do it right. Who got the Jewish, the Catholic, the non-affiliated and the atheist votes?

Wow!!!I'm glad you've bought into the Obama warfare. Obama has created this division within our nation. He's done it intentially. What's unbelievable to me is how people like you have bought into the rehtoric. During this presidency I lost my job at a local aerospace company in which I'd been employeed with for 28 years. I didn't feel sorry for myself. I vowed that day I'd never let myself be in a position that anyone could decide if I had a job or not. I started a business. We're small, but business has doubled in our second year. You see the difference between me and some Americans is, I will control my destiny. I refuse to sit around and be a statistic. America...get off your hind ends and control your own fate. But no...it's to easy to sit around....wait for the government or some other enity to do it for you. And I don't want to hear about not having money as an excuse. We took the severence money my old company give me on my last day of work....and we went to work.
