Isn't AOL's Customer Base Conservative? Well, They Seem To Be Dismantling Romney Now...

I have an old email address on AOL so I see their homepage from time to time. Usually, I see some article that has a slight to obvious Republican spin.

So imagine my surprise when I clicked a link and found a slideshow that had economist after economist ripping apart Romney's economic plan. One after the other. Democrats and Republicans both saying the math doesn't work.

Check it out. If the older consumers of AOL are reading this, it may actually move some voters.

Given how close the national polls are, it's discouraging, but I think 2008 was filled with first time voters for Obama who had never voted before. For '12, I'm hopefully optimistic there will
be enough who finally realize they had better vote AGAINST R$ (and the rest of the party, in down-ticket races), or at the very least, just not vote for him/them, out of utter disgust.
