Interesting. But one big difference between the candidates is that you won't find Romney's wife doing what Michelle Obama just did. Many are not aware that Michelle Obama just went on a $50,000 shopping spree at a lingerie shop recently. In one shopping trip! With people struggling around the country to make ends meet, I hardly think this is appropriate and it needs to be called out!

Neither guy should win. They are all a bunch of liars & probably friends behind the scenes. We need someone who will say what they are going to do for the good of the people & country. NOT tear each other apart.

That's great news for Mitt given the fact that he hasn't even started running against Barack Hussein Obozo yet. Obama is the worst president in US history, bar none. The guy has run our economic into the ditch with his $6T of unfunded new debt, crushing new entitlements, and a focus on short-term gain at the expense of extreme longer term pain. That's what you get when you elect an unqualified, inexperienced, and inept poseur who never ran anything except his mouth. Mitt is so more qualified than Obama it's amazing that anyone even still believes in the fraud-in-chief. I guess it's that racism thing again. People just can't get past the fact that Oblahblah is half black and feel compelled to support him because of his race in spite of his sordid record of miserable failure!

If Romney wins, it will be a Republican Party where the Tea Party won't be welcome. Mitt Romney made his fortune as a vulture capitalist who preyed on the misfortunes of others, swooped in, picked their bones clean and flew away with all of their money. He left them without jobs, bankrupted companies and penniless stockholders. He's got $270 million in cash stashed in offshore tax havens in the Cayman's and in Secret Swiss bank accounts. His wealth is more than double the amount than the last eight presidents combined since Nixon. Why would he spend mega-millions to get a job with an annual salary of only $400 thousand? He made $21 million from investments in 2010. What is he after? Power? Fame? More Money? "Why would an intelligent Floridian vote for a guy whose religion believes in magic underwear, the retroactive baptism of the dead, getting to be a god on your own planet after you die, the inspirational prophet Joseph Smith reading secret magical golden plates through a magic hat, and the Garden of Eden being in Missouri."

My problem with Mitt is that he is telling whoever he speaks to, what they want to hear. Its hard to really get a sense of what he believes. I have been paying attention to the attack ads from both Newt and Romney and neither are fit to be our President.

The fact of the matter is..............neither one of them deserves our vote...........our representatives do not care about us, it is all about getting elected to office for them.

Vote for Obama if you like multi-year declines in living standards. That's right!! Payroll employment is down from 3 years ago; real GDP per capita is down from 3 years ago; real income per capita is down from 3 years ago and even one year ago; the discomfort index has surged. A vote for Obama is a reward for atrocious performance. C1

Yeahhh. USA Today - nothing...conservative about that paper. Right? Sort of like a FOX poll. Or a Wall Street Journal poll. How about a poll from a slightly more objective source.

You've GOT to be kidding right? How about we take some statistics from real Michiganders? Why would AA.com be spewing poll results from USA Today...an out of town, out of touch, Repubican rag? AA.com...you are better than this...please show it. Do your own poll.

I'm all for Romney capitalism! It's what has made America great. The real problem here is that there are far too many people who haven't gone into Romney-style Bain adventure capitalism. Had enough of us done that, say 40 or 50 million of us, there'd be tons more people working at on-shore jobs we all created (if they hadn't gone into adventure capitalism first,) government could be a lot smaller because it wouldn't have to be handing out welfare and making a lot of business-killing regulations and the Euro would be propped up by 50 million more huge Swiss bank accounts, thus solving the Greek and world financial crisis. Furthermore, we'd all get speaking fees, perhaps 10 times that of working people's annual salaries, because everyone would want to hear what we have to say. What's not to like about that?? Romney's an outside-the-box thinker. We're not. Neither is Obama. We're trapped in the Box of Doom, created for us by proponents of conventional wisdom--be a good boy or girl, get a good education so you can get a good job--those who were our teachers and preachers in our childhood. What my teachers should have done is handed me an iPhone pre-programmed with #'s of top-notch tax accountants and attorneys. Had I been one of those, then I could have easily come up with $10 million, or so, for a friend of mine running for POTUS. Having been in public service all my life, it would take me a while to come up with it. Romney doesn't even need those kinds of friends. Imagine that, though, you have a friend you're willing to give $10 million bucks to in his failing efforts--and you know it--to become POTUS!! $10 Million Bucks!! My GAWD!! $10 Million bucks to a loser. Have you any idea what any MI city or town could do with a one-time infusion of $10 Million bucks into its public schools? I'm am entertained with my thoughts of how Newt might quid pro quo the Addlesons (sp?) for their love if he wins. I think we're all a little messed up.

Looks like Obama will need to come back and "outline steps to college afforability" or some other such nonsense....or maybe he could just be honest and call it a campaign stop.

I think we aught to abolish term limits, and forbid anyone from running against an incumbent president. Dissension merely breeds chaos -

Well I don't like Mit, and don't like what he stands for, nor stood for for that matter. He attacks and looks out for himself. He ducks and hides from the reality of our situation. It is real hard to believe his agenda will be for any other then himself and continues the corporate controlled gov. and more of the same. Obama has his quirks too but I see him really trying sometimes. So the best of two evils here would be to go Obama. Sorry Mit, maybe go back to what your good at.
